Property Description

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.
