About This Home

As of May 2025

Welcome to 1548 Lee Avenue, nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after Old Betton Hill neighborhood, this timeless 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath pool home is hitting the market for the first time in nearly 30 years & only for the second time EVER. Extensively remodeled and meticulously maintained, it blends classic charm with luxurious modern updates. Inside, you're greeted by a large formal living room filled with natural light from the big bay window and warmed by the original wood-burning fireplace. The chef’s kitchen is truly the centerpiece of the home, thoughtfully redesigned with custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops, a coffered ceiling, high-end Thermador appliances, and dedicated coffee bar & pantry spaces. Just off the kitchen, the large dining area showcases expansive picture windows overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard (landscaping by Tallahassee Nurseries), while the adjacent family room offers additional space for relaxing or entertaining. Oak hardwood floors run throughout the home, adding warmth and old charm. The primary bedroom is spacious & equipped with multiple closets and a beautifully updated private bathroom. Two of the bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom, and the fourth bedroom is perfect as an office or guest room & has access to the large 318 sqft (heated & cooled) enclosed porch. Downstairs, you find a 216 sqft finished basement that can be leveraged in many different ways and has access to ample amounts of storage space. Step out back and you’ll find your private in-town oasis. The in-ground pool features a concrete decking, several areas to lounge, an outdoor kitchen, and a separate pool bath that is equipped with an outside shower with/ hot water, all steps from the oversized two-car carport that doubles as a covered area to host parties and entertain. This is a rare opportunity to own a fully updated home in one of Tallahassee’s most loved neighborhoods, just minutes from downtown, midtown, parks, and top-rated schools.
