Steeped in history and timeless character, the legendary Van Dorn Inn is ready for its next steward. Situated on 1.44 scenic acres, this extraordinary 4,397 square foot property traces its roots back to 1817, when Gilbert and Magdalena Van Dorn journeyed from New Jersey to Ohio and constructed the original 4-wall log cabin. Over the centuries, this remarkable home has played an integral role in Trenton Township history, serving as an inn, tavern, stagecoach stop, store, post office, church, and more.
Rich with preserved original details, the home features 5 original fireplaces, including a fully functioning 6.5-foot-wide tavern fireplace, original wood flooring throughout, original front, funeral, and tavern doors, as well as original 12-over-12 single-pane windows. Both the main and rear staircases remain original, adding to the home's unmatched authenticity and charm.
Offering 6 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a 4-car detached garage/barn, the property combines historic significance with important modern improvements. Stairs in the barn lead to a spacious bonus/recreation room, providing flexible space for hobbies, entertaining, studio use, or storage. Extensive restoration work has been completed on the two main first-floor fireplaces, electrical, and plumbing systems. Within the last 10 years, new furnaces, air conditioning units, and new roofs on both the main home and barn have been installed.
Original character and historical integrity abound in this truly rare and magnificent property - a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a living piece of Ohio history.
