Description

This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom historical log-sided home rests on a private half-acre in White Mills, steeped in the legacy of the Dörflinger family, founders of the world-renowned Dörflinger Glass Company, whose creations graced the tables of eight U.S. Presidents from Abraham Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt. The founder's daughter owned this home for many years, adding to its legacy. Built in 1890, this extraordinary residence has been cherished by only three families, with the current owners carefully maintaining and updating it for over five decades. Surrounded by towering evergreens, long stone walls, and neighboring historic homes, the property captures the spirit of another era and offers a rare glimpse into White Mills' storied past. Arrive by the private driveway or park below and ascend the scenic stone steps for a memorable approach. A broad covered front porch stretches across the façade, inviting you to pause and admire the enduring craftsmanship of the log siding. Inside, you are welcomed by hardwood floors and an atmosphere of timeless character. The updated kitchen combines modern convenience with traditional warmth, while the spacious living room is highlighted by custom woodworking and a classic brick fireplace that anchors the space with historic charm. A first-floor bedroom with multiple closets and a full bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower complete the main level. Upstairs, the hardwood flooring continues into a large primary bedroom with multiple closets, alongside two additional bedrooms—one generous in size and one more intimate—sharing a full bathroom. Each room reflects the enduring appeal of 19th-century craftsmanship. Outside, the setting is enchanting. Stone ruins, rustic outbuildings, and a log shed are tucked among the trees, while the home is framed by layered stone walls and mature landscaping that provide privacy and permanence. This is more than a residence—it is a rare opportunity to own a living piece of history.
