In Riverdale, a 10,000-square-foot mansion formerly owned by the late poet Stanley Moss is on the market again with a new — and discounted — asking price.
Here’s your chance to own a page of New York’s literary history.The writer, who died in July at age 99, attempted to sell this half-Gothic, half-Colonial Revival home in 2023 for $4.5 million, but that was an artist’s delusion, Leslie Hirsch of Christie’s International Real Estate told The Post.
Dubbed the Henry L. Atherton Villa after its original builder, 5247 Independence Ave. is on arguably the most famous street in the Riverdale Historic District, which has 34 residences. John F. Kennedy Jr. himself lived at 5040 Independence Ave. in the 1920s, according to history archives.While only minorly renovated in the last few decades, the three-story house is in good shape and can easily accommodate updates like central air-conditioning, Hirsch said.
Much of his poetry was penned in that room, with plentiful mentions of the river, said Greg Miller, a fellow poet whom Moss named a “literary executor” of his will.The pair met in 2013 after Miller responded to an online ad Moss posted requesting an editorial assistant. They spent countless hours, “surrounded by art,” in Moss’s study, Miller said.
