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!
