Just 8 miles from Chief Bricks’ yard, in the picturesque town of Old Tappan, New Jersey, stands a modern home that perfectly blends contemporary architecture with timeless materials. From the moment you approach the property, one feature instantly stands out, the stunning entry to the driveway, paved with Chief Bricks’ Jumbo Belgian Blocks.
A Town Steeped in Beauty and Character
Old Tappan is known for its peaceful tree-lined streets, excellent schools, and a close-knit community atmosphere. Just a short drive from the bustle of New York City, it offers a serene escape while keeping urban conveniences within easy reach. Its blend of historic charm and modern luxury makes it a sought-after location for families and professionals alike.
A Modern Home Anchored by Natural Stone
This striking residence is a showcase of clean lines, expansive glass windows, and a harmonious mix of stone and wood finishes. The grey-toned exterior stonework ties seamlessly with the rich wooden accents, creating a warm yet sophisticated look. But it’s the driveway that makes the boldest first impression, welcoming visitors with natural Jumbo Belgian Blocks that set the tone for the home’s elegance.
Why Jumbo Belgian Blocks Elevate Any Property
Natural stone, unlike manufactured pavers, is forged by nature and carries unique variations in texture and color that simply can’t be replicated. Chief Bricks’ Jumbo Belgian Blocks are cut from dense granite, offering not only visual appeal but also unmatched durability. They withstand the elements year after year, developing a richer patina as they age.
Where concrete or manufactured products may fade, crack, or require replacement, natural stone grows more beautiful over time, adding value to the property and enhancing its curb appeal for decades to come. In a market like Old Tappan’s, that timeless quality is an investment in both beauty and resale value.
A Driveway That Makes a Statement
The wide entrance framed by neatly set Belgian Blocks gives this home a grand sense of arrival. The soft silver-grey tones of the granite complement the asphalt drive and surrounding landscaping, while their sheer size and weight speak to craftsmanship and permanence.
It’s a perfect example of how natural stone can bridge traditional durability with modern design, creating a home that feels both fresh and enduring.
Chief Bricks is proud to supply natural stone products that help homeowners and designers bring these visions to life. Whether in Old Tappan or beyond, our reclaimed and imported materials offer that rare combination of sustainability, durability, and timeless appeal.
