Steeped in heritage yet reborn with contemporary luxury, Bell House stands as one of Southport's most remarkable transformations. Originally crafted in 1944 by Mr Clarence Bell, a Master at The Southport School, this distinguished residence has been meticulously reimagined for modern living while honouring its rich past.
Every element of the renovation has been executed with precision and passion. Bay windows, high ceilings, timber hardwood weatherboards, ornate fretwork, decorative frieze panels and original ceiling roses have been lovingly preserved and complemented by high end finishes, creating a seamless blend of character and sophistication of indoor outdoor living. The result is a North facing home that exudes timeless grace while offering every modern comfort.
Perfectly positioned within the tightly held TSS precinct, just 250 metres from The Southport School, this exquisite three bedroom residence offers relaxed family living in an unbeatable location. The home's thoughtful layout combines open, light filled living spaces with fully ducted reverse cycle air conditioning and private retreats for quiet reflection, while the outdoor entertaining area complete with a tranquil pool and covered North facing terrace creates an effortless setting for year round enjoyment.
Set among some of the Gold Coast's most prestigious homes, Bell House sits proudly behind tree lined boundaries and manicured grounds, a rare and irreplaceable piece of local history. Homes of this calibre and authenticity are seldom available and a true landmark offering for the discerning buyer.
Enjoy the convenience of being within walking distance to Main Beach, the Ferry Road Markets, Tedder Avenue's dining precinct and nearby parklands. St Hilda's School and the light rail are moments away.
