Description

The Roger Morris Co-op is in a historic and inviting Sugar Hill neighborhood - half a block from the entrance to Highbridge Park on Edgecombe Avenue, a stroll away from the C and 1 Subways, and two and a half blocks from the historic Morris-Jumel Mansion - built by the same Roger Morris the co-op was named for, back in 1765. The Mansion also served as one of George Washington's headquarters during the American Revolution .and is today a museum, open to the public.

Other notable residents in this neighborhood have been Duke Ellington (935 St. Nicholas Ave), Paul Robeson (555 Edgecombe Ave) & Justice Thurgood Marshall (409 Edgecombe Ave)... and now, perhaps, you?

Apartment 1 is on a "high first floor" - easily accessible from the street but also high above all passersby on the sidewalk below. Although compact, the apartment is very livable, with 10'+ ceilings and high windows, a separate windowed kitchen, and a windowed bathroom which awaits your modernizing touch.

The building has an excellent live-in super and a renovated laundry room, with bike and storage available...

And it's only a half-a-block walk to the beautiful, forested walking path, leading to Highbridge Park (and its seasonal swimming pool)... where you'll be asking yourself if you're still in Manhattan!

This is a non-HDFC co-op, which means there are no income caps. Co-buying and gifting is permitted, as are pied-a-terres. Wells Fargo, Citibank, and Chase have all financed units at this co-op recently, thanks to its excellent financials.

Subletting is permitted, with board approval, after two years of residence, for up to two years. And... pets (and quirky roommates) are allowed! Listing courtesy of Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC ...
