Home Details for 2670 Yale Terrace

Rare, Renovated, and Unmistakably Mid-Century Modern This is the kind of home people search for when they say they want a true mid-century modern, not a builder-grade renovation with a few trendy touches. Originally built in 1955 and completely renovated by the current owners, this authentic mid-century modern home blends iconic retro design with carefully selected modern updates while preserving the soul of the era. Set on one-third of an acre in quiet unincorporated Decatur, the landscaping is every bit as special as the home itself and has been cultivated with exceptional care and pride. Japanese maples, magnolias, river birches, azaleas, jasmine vines, gardenias, perennial beds, and even a peach tree currently producing fruit create an outdoor setting that feels peaceful, lush, and incredibly private. Mature hardwood trees frame the perimeter of the property, while the fully fenced backyard fills with sunshine and the sounds of nature instead of traffic. Inside, the open floor plan showcases refinished dark hardwood floors, rich wood-paneled walls, solid heart pine beams, and a dramatic tongue-and-groove pine A-frame ceiling that immediately defines the home's unmistakable mid-century character. The renovated kitchen features contemporary cabinetry and quartz countertops with a striking waterfall-edge island, retro globe pendant lighting, and concrete flooring that complements the home's architectural style. Waxed textured-plaster walls add warmth and depth throughout the kitchen, primary bedroom, and half bath. The full bath features a custom black walnut vanity and shelving, baked clay shower tile, and classic penny tile flooring that continues into the half bath. Outside, the covered carport and backyard patio extend the home's artistic architectural aesthetic, while a detached tool shed provides additional storage and workspace. Major system updates include a new water heater installed in May, all new PVC sewer lines, updated kitchen and bath plumbing, newer roof, new gutters, and updated HVAC motor, flue, and crawlspace ductwork. There is truly nothing else like this on the market in the area. For buyers who appreciate authentic mid-century design, this is a rare opportunity to own a home with genuine character, thoughtful renovations, and timeless style.
