The Roger Morris is a five-story prewar cooperative constructed in 1910 within Washington Heights’ historic district. The walk-up masonry building contains primarily two-bedroom apartment layouts arranged over modest floor plates and retains classical prewar details: tall ceilings (around 9–9.5 feet), crown moldings, wide window and door trim, original millwork, and hardwood plank or inlaid floors. Individual units often feature eat-in kitchens, separate formal dining rooms, oversized windows with multiple exposures, windowed bathrooms, abundant closet space, and periodic modern upgrades such as granite or quartz counters, stainless appliances, and renovated baths. Common building amenities include a landscaped communal garden/courtyard, a renovated laundry room, bike storage, rentable basement storage cages, and a live-in superintendent. The co-op is pet-friendly with board policies that permit co-purchasing and parents buying; it is not HDFC and allows pied-a-terre ownership in some cases. Services are straightforward—on-site maintenance, a smart/intercom entry option in some units, and neighborhood street parking plus nearby commercial garages. Located steps from High Bridge Park, the Morris-Jumel Mansion and multiple subway lines (A/B/C/D/1 and local buses), the building offers a mix of historic character and practical neighborhood conveniences in a walkable, park-adjacent setting.
