140 Claremont Ave

A six-story, turn-of-the-century prewar co-op on Claremont Avenue in Morningside Heights, completed in 1900 and configured primarily with one-bedroom residences. The masonry building retains classic prewar proportions with high ceilings, large windows, and occasional exposed brick in some units; many apartments feature private entry foyers, cathedral or extra-high ceilings, and period details updated with modern finishes like granite or marble counters. Common areas include an elevator, a live-in superintendent, a communal laundry room, bicycle storage and additional basement storage lockers. Outdoor amenities are modest but notable for an urban mid-rise: a planted building garden and an accessible roof deck provide small-scale outdoor retreats above the street. Units typically have built-in features, ceiling fans, and through‑wall air conditioning; select apartments show renovated open kitchens, windowed bathrooms, and abundant closets. The building allows co-purchasing, guarantors, gifting, pets (with board approval), and permits subletting after a residency period, reflecting flexible co-op policies. Located on a tree-lined block opposite Sakura Park and a short walk to Riverside Park, the property sits amid academic institutions—Columbia, Barnard, Manhattan School of Music—and neighborhood shopping, dining, and transit (1 train and multiple bus lines), offering an intimate prewar living experience with convenient access to green space and campus life.
