Ang Roger Morris Co-op ay matatagpuan sa isang makasaysayan at kaaya-ayang komunidad ng Sugar Hill—kalahating bloke lamang mula sa pasukan ng Highbridge Park sa Edgecombe Avenue, maikling lakad mula sa mga istasyon ng C at 1 Subway, at dalawa’t kalahating bloke mula sa makasaysayang Morris-Jumel Mansion—na itinayo noong 1765 ng mismong Roger Morris na ipinangalan sa co-op. Nagsilbi rin ang Mansion bilang isa sa mga punong-tanggapan ni George Washington noong Rebolusyong Amerikano, at ngayon ay isa na itong museo na bukas sa publiko.

Kabilang sa iba pang kilalang dating residente ng komunidad na ito sina Duke Ellington (935 St. Nicholas Ave), Paul Robeson (555 Edgecombe Ave) at Justice Thurgood Marshall (409 Edgecombe Ave)… at ngayon, marahil, ikaw?

Ang Apartment 1 ay nasa isang “mataas na unang palapag”—madaling puntahan mula sa kalye ngunit sapat ang taas mula sa mga dumaraan sa bangketa sa ibaba. Bagama’t maliit, napakapraktikal at komportable ng apartment, na may kisameng mahigit 10 talampakan ang taas at matataas na bintana, hiwalay na kusinang may bintana, at banyong may bintana na naghihintay sa iyong modernisasyon.

May mahusay na superintendente na nakatira sa gusali at isang inayos na laundry room, pati na mga pasilidad para sa bisikleta at imbakan…

At kalahating bloke lamang ang layo sa magandang landas na napalilibutan ng mga puno, na patungo sa Highbridge Park (at sa pana-panahong swimming pool nito)… kung saan mapapatanong ka sa sarili kung nasa Manhattan ka pa rin!

Isa itong co-op na hindi HDFC, na nangangahulugang walang limitasyon sa kita. Pinahihintulutan ang pagbili nang magkakasama at pagbibigay bilang regalo, gayundin ang paggamit bilang pied-à-terre. Kamakailan lamang ay nagpinansiyal sina Wells Fargo, Citibank at Chase ng mga unit sa co-op na ito, salamat sa mahusay nitong kalagayang pinansyal.

Pinahihintulutan ang pagpapaupa sa iba, na may pag-apruba ng board, matapos manirahan dito nang dalawang taon, nang hanggang dalawang taon. At… pinapayagan ang mga alagang hayop (at mga kakaibang roommate)!

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!
