A purist's mid-century modern dream. True to its architectural roots, this home rejects the bloated footprints of modern builds, offering instead a masterclass in efficient design. From the sleek, low-profile single carport to the thoughtfully scaled baths, every square foot is optimized to focus on what matters: open-concept living, soaring ceilings, and a seamless connection to nature. With a solid granite foundation, 6 bedrooms big enough for King beds, a terraced backyard completely private from the outside world, a screened porch that stretches the entire length of the home, and a double-sided fireplace anchoring the vaulted living and dining room. You pinch yourself. This is EXACTLY what you've been looking for. You start texting your agent furiously. Your heart is racing. You need to get in to see this mid-century ranch before all of Atlanta finds out. Three grey dots appear. Waiting. Waiting... And then: she can show it in 45 minutes. No time to waste. You toss your hair in a ponytail, throw on a baseball cap, and realize you've put your shoes on the wrong feet. You've never been this excited or hopeful about a house. THIS IS THE ONE. The one they all told you didn't exist. ITP, impeccable curb appeal, on a half acre of privacy, convenient to everything. A low slung roof line, board and batten siding. Your heart is pumping in your ears. Your agent is already on the flagstone walkway, keys in hand, doing a terrible job of hiding her smile. She knows what's about to happen. In the foyer, a wall of exposed granite, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams. Above the dining table, a Gaetano Sciolari chevron chandelier, fifteen lights strong, glows like it did in 1960. Floor to ceiling picture windows frame the backyard like a painting. Red Oak hardwoods run underfoot. Original. The kitchen lives up to the hype. Modern, white glossy cabinetry, Bosch appliances from a 2016 remodel, and a window over the sink that turns dish duty into a backyard daydream. The six bedrooms are sized for actual living, King beds and all, and the baths are minimalist by design, clean lines, intentional materiality, nothing wasted. The kind of restraint that takes confidence to pull off. Downstairs the daylight basement has more exposed granite walls. Two more bedrooms, a full bath, a breakfast bar, and a kitchenette with its own interior and exterior entrance, set up perfectly for an in-law suite, a guest retreat, or an income producing apartment. Out back, the screened porch is 405 square feet of in-between space, perfect for sipping wine on summer evenings while a thunderstorm puts on a show and you stay bone dry. Past the porch, terraced stone walls hold back blooming hydrangeas. Magnolias ring the entire yard like a natural privacy fence. Deer wander through twitching their ears, so do foxes. Hawks drift overhead, and a red cardinal puts on a show. There's even a garden bed waiting for tomatoes and basil. This house was custom built in 1959 for Jim Tysinger, a Georgia State Senator. The architects, Tomberlin-Sheetz, also designed the old First Federal Savings & Loan building downtown, on Marietta Street. You wait for the catch. The "but the roof" or "but the HVAC" that always shows up in a house this age. Except, new roof in 2020 with skylights. New electrical service in 2021. A Honeywell zone system and all new Nest thermostats. New water heater this year. A radon system installed in 2024. The unglamorous work has been done so you can just focus on the fun stuff, furniture shopping!! Forest Heights is one of Brookhaven's quietest and most established pockets, where half acre wooded lots hide both mid-century originals and new custom builds. Zoned for Montgomery, Chamblee Middle, and Chamblee Charter. Remember when your agent swore homes like this didn't exist? The kind of thing agents say to manage your expectations. Then the stars aligned. And the unicorn landed on YouTube instead of Zillow, because sometimes, magic skips the listing portals.
