History
The Bella Rose is a Queen Anne Victorian estate built in 1899. This historic home is surrounded by lush gardens and glistens from the elegance of its late 19th century architecture and decor. The estate functioned as a family residence and small dairy farm during the early 1900s. Over the years, the home passed through the hands of only a few careful owners who were concious of maintianing the grandour and timelessness of the original design.
In early 2016, the home was purchased by Patrick and Lee Anne Sharpe, who had a vision of creating an exceptional event venue out of an already exceptional home. The house and grounds were then renovated and groomed to perfection, and the Victorian style of the home was simultaneously maintained. The original crown molding, painted tin ceilings, chandeliers, stained glass windows, and even wallpaper can be found throughout the house. The barn now boasts a dance floor and the gardens are an enchanting site for an outdoor ceremony.
