Decatur, Cul-de-sac. Lakeside cluster. Three reasons you should stop scrolling! Welcome to 1786 Lavista Oaks Drive: 3,082 square feet of brick beauty tucked onto the largest lot in the community on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of the Lakeside school zone. Four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a flexible upstairs loft give you room to breathe, work, host, and grow. Hardwood floors flow through the main level, fresh paint brightens every room, and brand-new upstairs carpet brings instant comfort. Step out to a fully fenced backyard built for weekend gatherings and morning coffee on the back deck. The location is the secret weapon: minutes to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's new Arthur M. Blank Hospital, Emory, the CDC, Oak Grove Market, and the buzzy Lulah Hills development bringing Anthropologie, Publix, AMC, and more to your doorstep starting 2027. This is the Decatur address you've been waiting for!
