Real Estate Taxes will be determined prior to closing. A Landmark of Legacy: The Historic Bell Home (as provided by the descendants) Nestled in the heart of the Platte Valley, the Bell Home stands as a living tribute to Nebraska's pioneering spirit and the vision of its founder, Jesse D.

Bell. For over 150 years, the Bell Home has been a cornerstone of Bellwood. Originally a modest 1 1/2-story dwelling, the home underwent significant expansion in 1886 with the addition of a stately Victorian-style two-story front. A final major addition came in 1916, extending the home's footprint and simplifying its exterior by removing many Victorian details.

The home evolved with the times, gaining a west dormer, an expansion of the basement, an updated kitchen and bathroom spaces, a screened dining porch was enclosed, and a new garage was constructed precisely copying the architecture of the original that complimented the house.
