Perched on the fifth floor of one of Washington Heights’ most admired pre‑war co‑operatives, Unit 5B at 70 Haven Avenue offers elevated light, character, and the quiet charm that define this historic stretch of Manhattan. Built in 1925 and set along a tree‑lined block just off Riverside Drive, the building reflects the craftsmanship and enduring elegance of its era.
A gracious entry foyer introduces the home with warmth and scale, framed by original decorative moldings that continue throughout. The foyer opens into an expansive, open‑concept living area anchored by a thoughtfully updated kitchen featuring an island, quality cabinetry, and generous workspace. The large living room is complemented by original hardwood floors and soaring ceilings, giving the home its unmistakable pre‑war appeal.As a corner unit on the fifth floor, 5B enjoys all‑day natural light through 10 windows, with exposures that capture sunrise to sunset. The upper‑floor and location in rear of the building offers a tranquil view toward the Hudson River — a flexible space ideal as a bedroom, home office, playroom, or guest room.
The building combines pre‑war charm with modern convenience. A recently updated video intercom system allows secure entry, and the laundry room offers smartphone monitoring so you can track machine availability and cycle completion. A live‑in superintendent maintains the building with exceptional care. Residents also enjoy an elevator, a landscaped courtyard garden with mature trees and potted plants, a fully equipped recreation room with kitchen and bathroom for private events or remote work, private storage cages, and a dedicated bike room.
70 Haven Avenue sits on a quiet residential block designated as a No‑Car Street, complete with seating areas near Columbia. Transit is effortless — the A, C, and 1 express trains at 168th Street are just 1.5 blocks away, offering a swift commute to Midtown. Columbia University Medical Center and NY‑Presbyterian Hospital are adjacent to the building, making the location ideal for those working or studying nearby. Hilltop Park, Fort Tryon Park, and JC Wright Park are all within easy reach, along with a vibrant dining scene ranging from Dominican bakeries to independent cafés and Local and National Coffee Shop like Starbucks and Latin American restaurants along Broadway. From June through November, two nearby farmers markets add to the neighborhood’s everyday convenience and character.
Unit 5B blends pre‑war architecture, modern updates, abundant light, and a uniquely peaceful setting — a rare combination in this historic pocket of Washington Heights.
Please be advised that a temporary building assessment of $341.76 per month is in place through July 1, 2027.
