1986 Shalimar Drive NE

Start the morning with coffee on the front porch and wave as the neighbors walk by. End it on the back deck, looking out over a fenced yard big enough for a garden, a fire pit, and a dog who finally has room to run. That’s the everyday rhythm at 1986 Shalimar Dr. Hardwoods run through the entire home. The outside was just painted, and the neutral walls mean your furniture and art set the tone from day one, with nothing to cover up first. The kitchen has granite counters and stainless steel appliances. It opens to a sunroom full of natural light that works as a breakfast spot, a home office, or a place for plants and a good chair. Step out from there to the deck. There are three bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom has its own bath. The hall bath was fully renovated in 2020, so there’s no bathroom project waiting for you on day one. A laundry closet keeps the washer and dryer tucked out of the way. Outside is the real story. The lot is 0.6 acres, which is rare this close in, and the backyard is fully fenced. Plant a vegetable garden. Host the cookout without anyone standing in the driveway. Out front, the porch has room for a pair of rocking chairs and long evenings. Clairmont Terrace has no HOA, and the street has its own social life. More green space is on the way. The City of Chamblee is building Woodacres Park on 2.4 wooded acres at the edge of the neighborhood, with native plantings, a pedestrian bridge, and a walking path planned straight from Clairmont Terrace. Dresden Park reopened in December 2025 after a full renovation, with turf fields, tennis courts, a dog park, a big playground, and a walking trail. The Peachtree Creek Greenway’s next phases are moving forward too, with plans to extend the trail toward Clairmont Rd and, long term, connect to the Atlanta BeltLine and PATH400. Food and errands are a few minutes in any direction. Buford Highway’s restaurant corridor starts about a mile away. Dresden Dr in Brookhaven has Haven, Valenza, and The Ashford. Fudo is at Parkview on Peachtree, and 57th Fighter Group sits right on the airfield at PDK. Downtown Chamblee has Southbound, BlueTop, and the Chamblee Tap & Market food hall, plus free summer concerts at City Hall. Getting around is easy. I-85 is minutes away at Clairmont Rd, with quick drives to Brookhaven, Buckhead, Midtown, Downtown Atlanta, Emory, and the CDC. A big fenced lot, no HOA, a front porch, a sunroom, and hardwoods everywhere, at this price, this close to Brookhaven. Photos don’t show how much yard you get. Come walk it.
