Step back in time and embrace the charm of The Bell House, an epic 1870 estate nestled in the heart of downtown Griffin. Built in an era when craftsmanship was an art and homes were filled with love, this enchanting property has witnessed generations of cherished moments. If its walls could talk, they would whisper tales of joyous celebrations, lifelong commitments, and memories woven into the very fabric of its existence. Lovingly restored, this turn-key bed & breakfast and event venue, offering 3 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, is a seamless blend of history and hospitality. The grand 4,188 sq ft event venue and charming 1,253 sq ft caretaker's cottage are filled with timeless elegance. Antique chandeliers cast a warm glow over original heart pine floors, while intricate wrought iron furniture, fine china and period antiques create an atmosphere steeped in nostalgia. Sunlight filters through poured glass windows, illuminating the custom drapery and heirloom details that make every corner a tribute to the past. The venue's carefully curated spaces offer both intimacy and grandeur. The Iris Room and Bluebird Room, original to the home, provide cozy retreats for guests, while The Bell Suite, added in the 1970s, offers versatility as a luxurious suite or an elegant dining area for up to 60 guests. Step outside into a setting reminiscent of a Southern garden party-brick-lined pathways wind through lush landscaping, guiding guests to the fountain garden, pool house, and the fire pit garden, where a charming stage invites music under the stars. Towering magnolias, cherry trees, azaleas, and a stately ginkgo tree, over a century old, complete the picture of timeless beauty. Seamlessly blending history with modern convenience, the home is equipped with WiFi-controlled doors, video monitoring, and a fully appointed caterer's kitchen designed for large-scale entertaining. A 1958 Magic Chef gas oven with six burners, two ovens, a griddle, and a broiler anchors the space, complemented by pristine enameled metal cabinets, stainless countertops, and modern appliances-including a dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker-all of which remain with the property. Just off The Bell Suite, a wet bar and coffee station add to the venue's charm, while a full-scale laundry and a three-station sink provide a commercial kitchen requirement. The more modern caretaker's cottage offers additional living space with a cozy living room, modern kitchen, and an upstairs master suite with three closets and a private bath. A two-car garage completes this functional addition to the property. This current owner purchased The Bell House with a vision-one that took shape through a meticulous three-year renovation, restoring the property to its full grandeur while crafting an exclusive Event Venue and Bed & Breakfast business model. Every detail, from the elegant interiors to the seamless event operations, has been thoughtfully designed to create an exceptional guest experience. Due to the owner's primary full-time job, the venue has only operated at a fraction of its potential, maintaining a booking rate capped at 30%. With a dedicated, full-time operator at the helm, this property is poised to reach a 90% booking capacity, generating an estimated $30K-$50K in monthly revenue. The business is already in motion-events are scheduled, all furnishings and supplies are in place, and the foundation for success has been built. Now, all it needs is the right owner to take it to the next level. From the first step onto its charming grounds to the final toast under its twinkling lights, The Bell House is a place where memories are made, love is celebrated, and history is honored. With a reputation for warmth and elegance, this turnkey venue is ready for its next chapter. Whether hosting intimate weddings, grand celebrations, or timeless gatherings, The Bell House isn't just a business opportunity-it's an invitation to become part of something truly special.
