201 Boothe Street

Just 30 minutes from Oxford, historic charm meets modern luxury in "The Lee House," a beautifully remodeled 1888 home in downtown Batesville. Known as one of architect Andrew Johnson's most ornamented homes—and the only Andrew Johnson home in Batesville—this remarkable property showcases elaborate jigsaw molding, timeless craftsmanship, and thoughtfully preserved original details. Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood flooring, 12-foot ceilings, many original transom windows, doors, and doorknobs, plus stunning exposed brick fireplaces. The remodeled kitchen features a farm sink, marble countertops, stainless appliances, a double oven, and a gas range. The master suite opens to a deck and has a bath with marble flooring, double sinks, and a glass-walled walk-in marble shower. An adjoining room provides flexible space for a home office, nursery, or game room. Enjoy two gas log fireplaces, two decorative fireplaces, a covered front porch with swing, and two spacious decks overlooking the backyard. The property sits on 3/4 of an acre and includes an oversized carport with two storage rooms. Elementary school grounds border two sides of the property, offering added privacy with no neighboring homes on either side. Thoughtful updates enhance comfort and efficiency with added insulation throughout the home, plumbing replacement with durable PEX piping, and the addition of a new roof in 2024. Located within walking distance of shopping and dining in downtown Batesville, this home is recorded on the National Historical Register and combines incredible architecture, modern updates, and an extra convenient location.
