Property Description for 4725 Independence Ave

Welcome to a home that feels like a world of its own. Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac in the prestigious Wave Hill section of Riverdale, 4725 Independence Avenue rises with quiet confidence on a lush 100 by 110 foot corner lot. A stream borders the property with two charming footbridges that cross it. The setting feels like an escape and remains perfectly connected to the rhythm of New York City.

Step into the entry vestibule and the home opens with grandeur. A sweeping center hall sets the stage. To one side, a gracious living room with a wood burning fireplace draws you in with warmth and light and French doors that lead to the dining patio and the wide, level lawn. To the other side, a formal dining room stands ready for celebrations and evenings that stretch long into the night.

The kitchen is the true heart of the home. A massive center island anchors the space. Quartz countertops, three sinks, and elite stainless steel appliances create a dream for any cook. Two Sub Zero refrigerators, a six burner Thermador stove, a Bosch oven, and two dishwashers make hosting effortless and impressive.

A family room provides a relaxed everyday retreat. A separate den offers the option of a first floor guest suite with its own full bathroom. The layout balances comfort and privacy with ease.

Upstairs, the master suite feels like a private sanctuary. A windowed dressing area with three closets, including one walk in, leads into a serene bedroom with its own private roof deck. Morning coffee here becomes a ritual. The master bathroom features a whirlpool tub and radiant heat floors.

The finished walk out basement expands the home even further. A spacious recreation room welcomes movie nights and gatherings. A large private office allows for uninterrupted work. A half bathroom completes the level and adds everyday function.

Outside, two separate multicar driveways and an attached garage provide rare convenience. The sprawling yard wraps the home in greenery and offers space for entertaining, play, or peaceful afternoons surrounded by nature.

The location is ideal for several of the city's most respected private schools, including Riverdale Country School and SAR Academy. Wave Hill's botanical gardens and cultural programs are nearby. Metro North trains offer an easy and efficient commute into Manhattan.

4725 Independence Avenue is more than a home. It is an estate of warmth, scale, and serenity, beautifully renovated for modern living and rooted in timeless 1940s architecture. Homes of this caliber rarely come to market. When they do, they inspire immediate excitement.

This is your opportunity to claim one of Riverdale's most remarkable properties.

Quick Profile

Searching for a little bit of country that can be your home base, while still being able to take advantage of everything that NYC offers? Do you want a slower pace of living, focused on family and the great outdoors? Riverdale may be your perfect choice. Only about ten miles north of Midtown, Riverdale’s bucolic paradise feels like you have left the city entirely. You would never guess that you are still within the confines of the Bronx. 

Riverdale is primarily residential with a substantial number of single-family homes and corridors of high-rise apartments. There are many large parks, and they play a major role in the lives of the residents, as they are a primary source of entertainment. Clean, safe streets make Riverdale a great place to walk or cycle. There are trees everywhere, and the air is fresh and invigorating. It is a great place to raise a family, but more and more singles and young professionals are moving into Riverdale, in search of larger, less expensive apartments, and to enjoy the parks and the remarkable views of the Hudson River and Manhattan.  

While the grid layout of the rest of the city makes it easy to find your way from here to there, Riverdale chose to forego that structure, choosing instead to let the verdant streets twist and wind their way around natural obstacles in designs by Frederick Law Olmsted, of Central Park fame. Some streets are divided, with traffic in one direction being at an entirely different level than traffic headed the opposite way on the same street. This quirkiness adds a certain charm to this neighborhood.
