About this home

<p>A Grand Mansion in Historic Riverdale - 5040 Independence Avenue</p> <p>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.

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.</p> <p>With 9 bedrooms, 7
