\n\tSeeking an escape from the intense glare of the spotlight in New York<\/a> City, Vaudeville-turned-Broadway icons Rosie and Jenny Dolly built a summer refuge in Westchester County<\/a> just over a century ago. The Hungarian-born identical twins\u2014famously known as the\u00a0Dolly Sisters<\/a>\u2014are long gone, but their spirit echoes through the beguiling White Plains<\/a> residence\u2014a Jazz Age gem evoking the\u00a0grand Newport \u201ccottages\u201d<\/a>\u00a0of the era\u2019s elite.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast sold nearly three decades ago, the\u00a0acre-plus estate<\/a>\u00a0has officially returned to the market for just under $2.8 million, represented by Stacey Pinkas and John Oliveira of Douglas Elliman.<\/p>\n

\n\tKnown by locals as the Dolly Sisters House, the stately\u00a0stone and wood-shingled abode was built in 1924. Retaining original\u00a0details like coffered ceilings and intricate custom millwork, the three-story home spans about 6,200 square feet, including a separate apartment above the attached two-car garage.<\/p>\n

\n\tA porte-coch\u00e8re entry off a circular driveway leads to a large, parquet-floored foyer anchored by a crimson-carpeted staircase and a fireplace with a glossy emerald-green ceramic-tiled hearth and surround. From there, formal living and dining rooms open via French doors to a vast wraparound screened porch. Other highlights include a fireside parlor and a country-style kitchen with beadboard cabinetry, a breakfast nook, and a butler\u2019s pantry.<\/p>\n
