586 Lakeshore Drive NE presents a rare opportunity for new construction or a transformative renovation in one of Atlanta’s most treasured neighborhoods. Perfectly positioned along a picturesque, double-sidewalk street, this property offers direct access to Lake Claire Park complete with soccer fields, tennis courts, and a playground — as well as the historic Olmsted Linear Parks, including Deepdene Park, with its wooded trails, bike paths, and charming historic trolley stop. From your front door, you can stroll to an abundance of local favorites: Fellini’s Pizza, La Fonda Latina, Gigi’s, Candler Park Market, yoga studios, and boutique shops. Just beyond, Candler Park itself awaits, with wide-open fields, shaded picnic areas, playgrounds, and the scenic Candler Park Golf Course.
Behind the property lies the historic Frazer Center and its remarkable 39-acre canopy of old-growth forest and gardens — a natural sanctuary where owls, hawks, deer, and rabbits make their home. Few properties can claim such a serene, protected backdrop. Incredible walkability to Fernbank Elementary, The Paideia School, and the Fernbank Museum, along with nearby Emory Village dining and retail, Fernbank Forest trails, and the prestigious Druid Hills Golf Club. For added convenience, Downtown Decatur with its celebrated dining, shopping, and vibrant community life is just a short jog or bike ride away. 586 Lakeshore Drive NE is more than an address, it is an invitation to live among Atlanta’s most beloved parks, neighborhoods, and cultural treasures.
