Pou premye fwa nan plis pase 30 ane, yon opòtinite ra ap tann nan Van Cortlandt Village. Byenveni nan 3811 Orloff Avenue.
Situe nan zòn istorik Van Cortlandt Park, kay sa a distenge te byen okipe ak modènize ak anpil gou pandan dènye 30 ane yo pa menm pwopriyetè ki ap viv sou plas, maksimize itilizasyon plan tradisyonèl li yo, tout pandan l ap kenbe detay ki pa janm demode yo an plas. Kòm youn nan pye ki pi enpòtan nan katye a, 3811 Orloff Avenue se plis pase yon kay; se yon moso istwa Bronx ki pare pou akeyi pwochen chapit li.
Apre ou antre nan kay la, ou pap ka inyore etaj an bwa orijinal ki bèl ki te byen konsève nan tout kay la. Sou bò gòch, gen yon sal manje espasyal ki gen kat gwo fenèt ki klere ki ap fè fas sid, ki, lè yo konbine ak yon senkyèm fenèt ki fè fas lès, benyen espas sa a gwo pou resepsyon an nan limyè solèy pa ane.
Kwizin nan, ak fenèt li ki fè fas lès, jwenn bon limyè dirèk apremidi ak nan aswè. Konstrui pou fonksyon ak koule, kwizin sa a gwo ase pou plizyè kwizin pou kontribye nan nenpòt manje. Aparèy an asye pur ki bèl, yon fou gaz ak yon tèt ki egzòte nan eksteryè a, ak yon lave veso ki te ranplase dènyèman (2024), bay yon kontrast modèn ak abondans kabinè an bwa klasik yo, melanje stil ak atizay tout kote.
An fas sal manje a, gen yon sal vivan lavish ki gen sis fenèt ak chemine orijinal ki boule bwa. Fenèt yo fè fas nò ak sid e yo kenbe limyè tout jounen an, fè espas sa a envitasyon pou envite, tout pandan l ap pwofite jaden deyò yo ak pyebwa ki fèt pou mete anbyans pou yon apremidi ak yon liv renmen ak yon tas te.
Men gen plis. Apre sal vivan an, gen yon sal ki ka sèvi kòm yon espas siplemantè ak twa ekspoze, ki gen ladan yon gwo fenèt ki ap gade sou jaden an ak Orloff Avenue ki vèt ak fèy. Konstrui kòm yon sal solèy, zòn sa a fè yon biwo oswa etid ki parfe. Li pa se yon espas ki jwenn nan pifò kay e li se yon bon egzanp sou detay espesyal ki fè kay sa a diferan. Sis fenèt yo nan sal la ankouraje ou pase yon apremidi nan sakrifye sa a nan vil la, ap jwi limyè a ak repoze nan vant la. De doub pòt Frans orijinal konekte sal sa a ak sal vivan an. Pòt Frans orijinal yo tou dekore antre a, ki mennen nan sal vivan an ak sal manje a.
Gen yon twalèt atire ak mozayik ki pratikman lokalize jis sou koridò sa a nan etaj sa a. Li pafè pou envite e li sove yon vwayaj moute nan etaj anwo a.
Anwo a gen twa chanm. Chanm prensipal la se kounye a itilize kòm yon biwo/etid ak se yon mak pou yon epòk pi bonè ak de limyè chandelye orijinal. Gwo ase pou fasil mete yon kabann king, sal la gen yon gwo klozèt ki akeyan, twa fenèt ki fè fas sid, yon lavabo ki fonksyone ak yon etid prive ki gen fenèt ki te gen orijinal kòm yon porch pou dòmi. Pandan li fasil pou separe an de chanm, si li kenbe nan konfigirasyon aktyèl li, espas sa a sèvi kòm yon chanm prensipal ki eksepsyonèl e li ta ka kenbe plizyè mèb epi toujou gen ase espas pou yon biwo oswa zòn chita.
Dezyèm chanm nan se tou byen gwo e li ta ka fasilman adapte yon kabann queen-siz. Li gen fenèt ki fè fas sid ak lès ak pwòp klozèt li. Sa a se yon lòt chanm ki gen ase espas pou mete mèb ak konfò.
Twazyèm chanm nan ki gen de ekspoze ak pwòp klozèt li ka sèvi tou kòm yon bon biwo oswa sal medya ak biwo ki enkli.
Twalèt la ki gen mozayik ak fenèt ap resevwa limyè nò ak gen depo nan yon klozèt adjasan.

Koridò a nan dezyèm etaj la gen de klozèt an total, youn se yon klozèt lenn ki pafè, ak anwo a gen planche ak inite rafteur an bwa ki deja enstale tout kote, elaji depo plis toujou.
Anba etaj prensipal la, gen yon gwo, bazè k ap grandi ak de gwo sal. Premye a ta fè yon gwo estidyo, jimnastik oswa sal medya. Dezyèm a...

For the first time in over 30 years, a rare opportunity awaits in Van Cortlandt Village. Welcome to 3811 Orloff Avenue.
Situated within the Van Cortlandt Park Historic District, this distinguished home has been lovingly maintained and tastefully updated over the last 30 years by the same owners living on site, maximizing the use of its traditional layout, all while keeping the timeless details intact. As one of the neighborhood's historic anchors, 3811 Orloff Avenue is more than a home; it's a piece of Bronx history ready to welcome its next chapter.
As soon as you enter the home, you won't be able to ignore the stunning original hardwood floors that have been beautifully retained throughout the entire home. To the left sits the spacious dining room which has four large and bright south facing windows that, when combined with a fifth west-facing window, bathe this grand entertaining space in sunlight year-round.
The kitchen, with its westward window, gets fantastic direct afternoon and evening sunlight. Designed for function and flow, this kitchen is large enough for multiple cooks to contribute to any meal. Sleek stainless-steel appliances, a gas stove with range hood exhausting to the exterior, and a recently replaced dishwasher (2024), provide a contemporary contrast to the abundance of classic wooden cabinetry, blending style and craftsmanship throughout.
Opposite the dining room sits a lavish living room with six windows and the original wood-burning fire place. The windows face north and south and maintain light all day long, making this space inviting for guests, all while taking advantage of the outside gardens and trees perfectly setting the mood for an afternoon with a favorite book and a cup of tea.
But there is more. Past the living room is a bonus sitting room with triple exposure, including a massive window bay that overlooks the garden and leafy green Orloff Avenue. Conceived as a sunroom, this area makes a perfect office or study. It is not a space found in most houses and is a great example of the special details that set this home apart. The six windows in the room encourage you to spend an afternoon in this urban sanctuary, enjoying the light and relaxing in the breeze. Double sets of original French doors join this room to the living room. Original French doors also grace the entry, leading into the living room and dining room.
There is a charming tiled half-bathroom conveniently located just off the hallway on this floor. It is perfect for guests and saves a trip upstairs.
Upstairs sit three bedrooms. The primary bedroom is currently used as an office/studio and is a hallmark to an earlier era with two original chandelier light fixtures. Large enough to easily fit a king, the room features a welcoming walk-in closet, three south-facing windows, a functioning sink as well as a private windowed study that has its origins as a sleeping porch. While easily separated into two bedrooms, if kept in its current configuration, this space serves as an outstanding primary bedroom and could hold a multitude of furniture and still be spacious enough for a desk or sitting area.
The second bedroom is also quite large and could easily fit a queen-size bed. It has south and east-facing windows and its own walk-in closet. This is another bedroom spacious enough to comfortably fit furniture.
The third bedroom with double exposure and its own closet could also serve as a great office or media room with its built-in desk.
The tiled and windowed bathroom takes in northern light and has storage in an adjacent closet.

The hall on the second floor has two closets total, one is a perfect linen closet, and the attic above boasts flooring and wooden shelving units already installed throughout, expanding storage even further.
Below the main floor is a large, full-sized, dry basement with two large rooms. The first would make a great studio, gym or media room. The sec
