Isang Dakilang Mansyon sa Makasaysayang Riverdale - 5040 Independence Avenue

Nag-aangkin ng higit sa 1.2 ektarya ng pangunahing lupa sa luntiang enclave ng Riverdale, sa Bronx, ang 5040 Independence Avenue ay isang pagkakataong nagaganap sa isang henerasyon. Ang natatanging estate na ito, na nakatayo sa itaas ng kilalang Wave Hill Gardens, ay puno ng kahalagahan sa arkitektura at pamana ng pangulo dahil ito ay nasa mismong lugar kung saan nakatayo ang tahanan ng pagkabata ni John F. Kennedy noong siya ay nag-aral sa Riverdale Country School.

Sa puso ng estate ay isang kahanga-hangang pangunahing mansyon na may humigit-kumulang na 17,620 interior square feet sa tatlong malalawak na palapag, na may karagdagang basement na 7,500 square feet na nag-aalok ng walang katapusang potensyal para sa pagpapasadya. Inspirado ng mga paikot na kurba ng Guggenheim Museum, ang tirahan ay may dramatikong triple-height atrium—a maliwanag, rotunda-like centerpiece na lumilikha ng pakiramdam ng kaluwagan, kagandahan, at walang panahong modernidad.

Sa 9 na silid-tulugan, 7 na banyo, at 2 pang powder room, ang dakilang mansyon na ito ay nag-aalok ng hindi kapani-paniwala na sukat at dami para sa pinong pamumuhay at pagdadaraos ng mga salu-salo. Ang isang malawak na sunken living room ay bumubukas nang walang putol sa isang malaking terasa, bahagi ng 4,500 square feet ng terraced outdoor space ng estate na niyayakap ang likas na ganda ng Hudson River Valley. Kasamang nito ang isang pormal na silid-kainan, malaking eat-in kitchen na pinatataas pa ng malaking katabing morning terrace, isang hiwalay na aklatan, silid ng media, at maraming salon para sa pagdiriwang. Isang 10-car garage ang nagdaragdag ng parehong function at prestihiyo. Ang isang hiwalay na cottage—perpekto para sa mga bisita, tauhan, o pinalawig na pamilya—ay nag-aalok ng karagdagang 2,000 square feet, kabilang ang 3 silid-tulugan, 2 banyo, at isang nakalakip na 2-car garage.

Ang pambihira at malawak na ari-arian sa Riverdale na ito ay pinagsasama ang privacy at karangyaan ng isang eksklusibong tirahan sa bansa kasama ang kaginhawahan ng pagiging malapit sa Manhattan—madali kang makakapunta sa Midtown Manhattan sa loob ng 30 minuto sa pamamagitan ng kotse, at hindi mas matagal sa pamamagitan ng Metro North o Subway trains. Ang Wave Hill Gardens ay nakatayo nang direkta sa kanlurang bahagi ng ari-arian, na nag-aalok ng mga luntiang hardin at lupa, art gallery, cultural center, at kaakit-akit na café para sa karagdagang pahinga at kasiyahan. Ilang bloke lamang ang layo ng Riverdale Stables at golf course sa Van Cortland Park, habang ang Riverdale Yacht Club at mga magagandang daan sa Hudson River ay nag-aalok ng pamumuhay na mayaman sa libangan, isport, at kasaysayan.

Ang 5040 Independence Avenue ay higit pa sa isang tirahan—ito ay isang pamana na nakaugat sa kasaysayan ng Amerika, napapaligiran ng kalikasan, at dinisenyo para sa parehong pambihirang pamumuhay at inspiradong pagdiriwang.

Habang ang 5040 ay tatanggap ng iyong sariling—o ng iyong arkitekto—na pananaw upang makumpleto ang ari-arian, ito ay ihahatid na may Temp Certificate of Occupancy.

A Grand Mansion in Historic Riverdale - 5040 Independence Avenue

Commanding over 1.2 acres of prime land in the verdant enclave of Riverdale, the Bronx, 5040 Independence Avenue is a once-in-a-generation offering. This exceptional estate, nestled above the iconic Wave Hill Gardens, is steeped in both architectural significance and presidential heritage as it is located on the very same site that the childhood home of John F. Kennedy once stood when he attended Riverdale Country School.

At the heart of the estate is an awe-inspiring primary mansion spanning approximately 17,620 interior square feet across three expansive floors, with an additional 7,500-square-foot basement offering endless potential for customization. Inspired by the spiraling curves of the Guggenheim Museum, the residence features a dramatic triple-height atrium-a luminous, rotunda-like centerpiece that creates a sense of openness, elegance, and timeless modernity.

With 9 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and 2 powder rooms, this grand mansion offers incredible scale and volume for refined living and entertaining. A sprawling sunken living room opens seamlessly onto a generous terrace, part of the estate's 4,500 square feet of terraced outdoor space that embraces the natural beauty of the Hudson River Valley. Complementing this are a formal dining room, large eat-in kitchen that is also complimented by a large adjacent morning terrace, a separate library, media room, and multiple entertaining salons. A 10-car garage adds both functionality and prestige. A separate cottage-ideal for guests, staff, or extended family-offers an additional 2,000 square feet, including 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an attached 2-car garage.

This rare and expansive Riverdale property combines the privacy and grandeur of an exclusive country residence with the convenience of proximity to Manhattan-you can get to Midtown Manhattan in under 30 minutes by car, and not much longer via the Metro North or Subway trains. Wave Hill Gardens sits directly west of the property, offering its lush gardens and grounds, art gallery, cultural center, and charming caf for additional respite and enjoyment. Just a few blocks away are the Riverdale Stables and golf course in Van Cortland Park, as the Riverdale Yacht Club and picturesque Hudson River trails, offering a lifestyle rich in recreation, sport, and history.

5040 Independence Avenue is more than a residence-it's a legacy property rooted in American history, surrounded by nature, and designed for both extraordinary living and inspired entertaining.

While 5040 will welcome your own-or your architect's-vision to complete the property, it will be delivered with a Temp Certificate of Occupancy.
