I think this works and is what you are looking for.
If you put this in your .emacs initialization file, the buffer list
will always show up in the currently active/selected window.


(defun ListBuffers (&optional files-only)
  "Display a list of names of existing buffers.
The list is displayed in the active window in a buffer named `*Buffer
List*'.
Note that buffers with names starting with spaces are omitted.
Non-null optional arg FILES-ONLY means mention only file buffers.
For more information, see the function `buffer-menu'."
  (interactive "P")
  (window--display-buffer-2 (list-buffers-noselect files-only)
             (selected-window))
)

(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-b") 'ListBuffers)
