探索一座稀有而精緻的“黃金海岸”莊園，坐落於享有聲望的河谷歷史區——紐約市僅存的幾個被鬱鬱蔥蔥的綠地環繞的大宅社區之一。這處物業，即位於獨立大道5247號的亨利·L·阿瑟頓別墅，是這個歷史聚居地中僅有的34處傑出住宅之一，當年年輕的約翰·甘迺迪亦於1928年在附近居住。19世紀中葉時，富商們將其構想為專屬“郊區夏季社區”，這座宏偉的莊園展示了哥特復興建築與精緻殖民復興風格的結合，建於1910年和1914年。

這座莊重的房產佔地10,000平方英尺，擁有9間臥室和8間浴室，坐落於一片寧靜的0.61英畝地塊上。其外部保留了豐富的歷史特徵，包括兩個煙囪、人字形石板屋頂、優雅的多利克柱子及車道雨篷。內部的原始木工精美細緻，閃閃發光的硬木地板和寬敞窗戶散發出永恆的魅力。

進入莊嚴的開放式大廳，其中的壁爐一度用於以精緻方式迎接賓客。第一層設有正式的餐廳、設備齊全的廚房和兩個裝有灣窗和壁爐的高雅圖書館。寬敞的客廳通過玻璃門通向宏偉的陽台，提供一年四季哈德遜河的無遮蔽美景。

房屋的分層樓梯通向9間布局巧妙的臥室，精心設計以確保私密性。第二層擁有包括帶有河景露台的豪華主人套房在內的五間臥室。第三層擁有另外三間臥室，非常適合家庭或客人。數間臥室設有燒木壁爐，增添了房子的華美氣息。從寬敞的甲板和超大陽台可欣賞到河流和帕利塞德的壯麗景色。

河谷歷史區在1990年由地標保護委員會指定為紐約市第54個歷史區，這裡擁有像波金斯莊園在波浪山等著名景點。此區域有精美的園景公園、蜿蜒的林蔭街道，以及眾多咖啡館、餐廳和頂級私立及公立學校。只需15分鐘車程、地鐵或北方地區火車從曼哈頓即可到達，這座獨特的莊園完美地結合了歷史優雅與現代便利。

Discover a rare and exquisite "Gold Coast" estate, nestled in the prestigious Riverdale Historic District-one of the few remaining neighborhoods in NYC where grand homes are surrounded by lush grounds. This property, the Henry L. Atherton Villa at 5247 Independence Avenue, is among just 34 distinguished residences in this historic enclave, where even a young JFK once resided nearby in 1928. Conceived in the mid-19th century as an exclusive "suburban summer community" by affluent businessmen, this magnificent estate showcases a stunning blend of Gothic Revival architecture with refined Colonial Revival enhancements, completed in 1910 and 1914.

Spanning a stately 10,000 square feet, this impressive home offers 9 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms on a serene 0.61-acre lot. The exterior preserves its rich historical character with striking features such as two chimneys, gabled slate roofs, elegant Doric columns, and a porte-cochere. Inside, the exquisite original millwork, gleaming hardwood floors, and generous windows exude timeless charm.

Enter through a grand open parlor with a fireplace, once used to greet guests in sophisticated style. The first floor includes a formal dining room, a well-appointed kitchen, and two refined libraries with bay windows and fireplaces.

Several bedrooms boast wood-burning fireplaces, adding to the home's grandeur. Enjoy breathtaking views of the river and Palisades from the spacious deck and oversized balcony.

The Riverdale Historic District, designated as NYC's 54th historic district by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1990, is home to notable attractions such as the Perkins Estate at Wave Hill. This area offers beautifully landscaped parks, winding tree-lined streets, and an array of cafes, restaurants, and top-rated private and public schools.
