## Property Overview

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.

Based on house sales in Dyker Heights with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through September 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3062540024. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
