Historic White Plains Home of the Dolly Sisters

The week’s most interesting home listing is a White Plains, New York, estate with a story rooted in the golden age of American entertainment. Originally constructed in 1924 as a summer home for the Dolly Sisters, famed Hungarian-born twins who were among the biggest stars of Broadway and vaudeville in the 1910s and ’20s, the 1.12-acre estate was built in the style of the Newport “Cottages,” the grand summer retreats favored by society’s elite, and the original details are well intact.

The 6,254-square-foot home has 12 bedrooms, wide-plank floors, detailed woodwork, and windows original to the sisters, along with coffered ceilings, grand fireplaces, an impressive central staircase, and a porte-cochère once large enough to accommodate a horse-drawn carriage.

The home is listed for $2.795 million with Stacey Pinkas and John Oliveira of Douglas Elliman.
