Lovingly maintained and ready for its next chapter.

Set on a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of Dyker Heights, 1144 78th Street is a classic semi-attached brick single-family home built in 1920 and cherished by the same family for decades. Rich in original character and timeless craftsmanship, this is the kind of home that cannot be replicated today.

A stained-glass entry door welcomes you inside, where beautifully preserved parquet hardwood floors, original millwork, and the original staircase sets the tone. The first floor flows from a generous living area (with over 10 ft ceilings) into a formal dining room and a windowed kitchen, not to mention a half-bath, which is a RARE find in homes like this! Upstairs, three bedrooms and a full bath get the most lovely treetop views and generous natural light pouring in throughout the day.

The full finished basement, measuring at almost an additional 583 sq ft expands your living options considerably. Featuring a sprawling recreation room, wet bar, three-quarter bathroom, dedicated laundry area, and separate storage room, the space can be reimagined for entertaining, a home office, fitness area, media room, guest accommodations, or all of the above!

Outside, a shared driveway leads to a private detached garage, while the expansive rear courtyard provides ample room for outdoor dining, gardening, additional parking, or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee.

Whether you're looking to move right in, renovate over time, or create your dream home, 1144 78th Street presents a rare opportunity to own a lovingly maintained residence in one of South Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods.
