Kite m 'rakonte ou de yon ti kay nan fen Buttonwood Place.

Li chita dwat sou kwen an… prèske yon ti zòn yon demi ak, ak yon lakou sou tout bò. Gen yon pye bwa magnifik dèyè ki te wè plis sezon pase pifò, ak yon twalèt ble ki matche ak pòt yo sou kay la. Gen yon moun ki te planifye sa. Gen yon moun ki te pran swen bagay ti yo.

Kay la se yon Cape Cod, bati an 1955. Twa chanm, de beny, anviwon 1,700 pye kare. Ou mache sou yon porch ki kouvri… yon vrè porch, jan ki anvlòp… epi ou pase nan yon pòt devan ki gen vè sou toude bò.

Anndan, planche yo se bwa. Reyèl bwa, kalite ki fè bri ase pou fè ou konnen kay la ap viv. Sal la gen yon gwo fenèt ki pèmèt limyè apremidi a antre. Sal la manje a gen yon chandelye ansyen ak yon aksan pòt an bwa ki chaje nan miray la… yon rapèl ke kay yo te gen pèsonalite.

Kizinen an gen kabinè solid chene, kontwa granit, ak yon fou gaz. Li konekte ak sal manje a atravè yon vye kyòs an bwa. Gen yon chanm sou etaj la prensipal ak yon beny tou pre… yon espas fleksib ki fonksyone nenpòt jan ou bezwen.

Anwo, de lòt chanm ak plafon vouté ak vrè espas pou respirasyon. Yon gwo kwen ak etajè ki entegre. Yon dezyèm beny konplè.

Kounye a, dèyè… se la plas sa a briye.

Yon kloti kouri toutotou. Gen yon patio ki kouvri ak yon plafon beadboard, yon cham deyò apwopriye pou tout move tan. Epi jis dèyè kloti sa a ki jis kèk minit mache? Pak Eta Blauvelt. Preske sis sant akrès bwa ak chemen. Te itilize kòm yon chan tire Garde Nasyonal anvan Premye Gè Mondyal la… ou ka toujou jwenn ansyen tinèl ak miray wòch soti nan jou sa yo.

Foto aeryen yo montre Lake Tappan ki klere nan distans la. Nan yon jou klè, ou ka wè skyline Manhattan sou orizon an. Vil la la lè ou bezwen li… disuit minit rive sou George Washington Bridge… men li pa swiv ou lakay.

Gen yon sousòl ak koneksyon pou lave ak depo. Yon garaj pou yon machin ak yon ouvèti otomatik. Yon driveway ki ka akeyi plizyè machin.

Se yon kay ki pi ansyen. Kèk chanm pare pou ou mete pwòp ajou ou. Men zo yo solid. Zòn nan jeneral. Kote a… kèk pa sèlman soti nan pak eta a, kèk minit soti nan Palisades Parkway… se kalite bagay ou pa ka chanje kèlkeswa jan ou depanse.

Kèk kay se jis bilding. Sa a te ka kay ou.

Let me tell you about a little house at the end of Buttonwood Place.

It sits right on the corner…almost half an acre, with yard on all sides. There's a magnificent tree out back that's seen more seasons than most, and a blue barn shed that matches the shutters on the house. Somebody planned that. Somebody cared about the little things.

The house is a Cape Cod, built in 1955. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, about 1,700 square feet. You walk up to a covered porch…a real porch, the kind that wraps around…and step through a front door with glass panels on either side.

Inside, the floors are hardwood. Real wood, the kind that creaks just enough to let you know the house is alive. The living room has a big picture window that lets afternoon light pour in. The dining room has an old chandelier and a charming wooden shutter accent built right into the wall…a reminder that houses used to have personality.

The kitchen has solid oak cabinets, granite counters, and a gas stove. It connects to the dining room through a wood-trimmed archway. There's a bedroom on the main floor with a bathroom close by…flexible space that works however you need it to.

Upstairs, two more bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and real breathing room. A walk-in closet with built-in shelves. A second full bathroom.

Now, the backyard…that's where this place shines.

A fence runs all the way around. There's a covered patio with a beadboard ceiling, a proper outdoor room for any weather. And just beyond that back fence just a few minutes drive away? Blauvelt State Park. Nearly six hundred acres of woods and trails. Used to be a National Guard rifle range before the first World War…you can still find old tunnels and stone walls from those days.

The aerial photos show Lake Tappan shimmering in the distance. On a clear day, you can spot the Manhattan skyline on the horizon. The city's there when you need it…eighteen minutes to the George Washington Bridge…but it doesn't follow you home.

There's a basement with laundry hookups and storage. A one-car garage with an automatic opener. A driveway that fits several cars.

It's an older house. Some rooms are ready for your own updates. But the bones are solid. The lot is generous. The location…steps from state parkland, minutes from the Palisades Parkway…that's the kind of thing you can't change no matter how much you spend.

Some houses are just buildings. This one could be your home. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
