“In selecting a style of architecture for his Riverdale
home, Mr. Arthur C. Emmons made a happy choice.
The great overhanging eaves of his picturesque Swiss
chalet peep over the top of the steep hill which here rises
from the Riverside Drive like a miniature mountain,
and it seems in perfect keeping with its surroundings.
It nestles in among the trees of the hills which rise on
beyond it, and glimpses of the quaint gabled roof up
near the skyline put the spirit of exploration into the
passerby, and he immediately has a desire to climb the
hill and see this pretty home at close range.”
The Seller purchased the home over twenty-five years
ago, and has invested over $1 million in its restoration
and remodel, using Cooper Construction. The 2 1/2
story home is located at the end of a circular private
drive, above S.W. Riverside Drive, on a 1.56± acre parcel.
There is opportunity, with the R-20 zoning, to create
an additional home site, a combination of tennis court,
sport court and swimming pool using the level yard at
the rear of the existing residence, or an artist studio.
The Emmons residence is wood frame, 2 1/2 levels,
and uses a simple rectangular plan, with full basement
containing artisan-quality wood workshop and
walk-in wine cellar. The home’s top half-story is an
entertainment-media room with superior built-in
equipment. Generous outdoor covered porch and
decking surround much of the main floor, as well as
a covered deck located off the master bedroom suite
upstairs.
The 1,954± square foot main floor contains the public
areas of the home, with large, spacious rooms: East and
West Living Rooms, formal Dining Room, Family Room
with hand-built stone fireplace, Study, full Bathroom,
andKitchen that was remodeled, expanded and updated
with Sub Zero and Gaggenau appliances. Floors are
rich honey-colored Russian Oak, with Mahogany inlay
detailing. The Main Entry Foyer features an ornate
