A Timeless Treasure: Historic Wedding Venue & Bed & Breakfast *** Step back in time and embrace the charm of The Bell House, a storied 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 wedding venue and bed & breakfast is a seamless blend of history and hospitality. The grand 4,188 sq. ft. main house 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 delicate linens, 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-pebble-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 and merriment 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, coffee maker, and popcorn machine-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 with a three-station sink ensures seamless event service. 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 yet elegant addition to the property. With all furnishings, equipment, appliances, and licenses included, this beloved venue is ready to welcome new owners who will carry on its tradition of love and celebration. Whether hosting weddings, showers, corporate gatherings, or family milestones, The Bell House is more than a property-it's a place where history and romance live on.
