The Cliff Haven is a landmarked pre‑war cooperative on Riverside Drive in Morningside Heights, completed in the 1908–1910 era and rising 13 stories with roughly 76 residences. Executed in brick and limestone with Colonial Revival influences, the building retains original architectural details and a formal marble-and-terrazzo lobby. Unit types are predominantly one‑ and two‑bedroom layouts (with larger multi‑room apartments occasionally available) that showcase classic prewar elements: high ceilings (about 10 feet), hardwood floors with mahogany or decorative inlays, crown moldings, stained‑glass windows, decorative fireplaces and generous room proportions. Individual apartments typically include formal entry galleries, built‑ins, pantry or butler’s pantry space and recent modernizations such as updated kitchens, baths and upgraded windows; in‑unit washer/dryers are permitted with board approval. Common areas and services include a full‑time doorman, live‑in superintendent, elevator, updated laundry room, bike storage and additional storage facilities. The co‑op board allows pieds‑à‑terre, parents buying for children, co‑purchasing, guarantors and up to 75% financing subject to approval; pets are considered on a case‑by‑case basis. Located directly across from Riverside Park and within the Columbia University cultural corridor, the building offers immediate access to waterfront recreation, public transit (1, B, C lines), neighborhood dining and retail, and institutional institutions such as Columbia and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
