About This Property
A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Dyker Heights
For the first time in 75 years, this beloved three-bedroom, two-bath home is ready for its next chapter. Owned by the same family since it was built, it has been the setting for generations of birthdays, weddings, holidays, backyard barbecues and unforgettable family gatherings.
Over nearly eighty years, every part of the home has been touched, cared for, updated or renovated along the way — thoughtfully evolving with each generation while retaining the warmth and character that have made it such a special place to live.
Enjoy true Brooklyn living with something increasingly hard to find: your own private backyard, driveway, off-street parking and full garage.
Imagine summer evenings in the backyard, children playing outside, family and friends gathered for dinner, or simply sitting on the front stoop and saying hello to neighbors. The porch provides the perfect perch to watch the neighborhood go by.
Located in the heart of desirable Dyker Heights, with convenient access to Downtown Brooklyn, Manhattan, shopping, dining and everything New York City has to offer.
A true family home with 75 years of history, decades of thoughtful care and improvement, exceptional outdoor space and the increasingly rare luxury of private parking — ready for a new generation to love it.
A Legacy of Love. A Home for the Next Generation.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Daniel Gale of Brooklyn LLC.
Outdoor space leads this three-bedroom house at 1016 71st Street, starting with a private backyard, a private garden and a driveway. In the city, a private garden is worth more than it sounds, since few homes come with ground of their own, and a backyard you can use daily changes how the house gets lived in.
A porch and a front stoop sit at the front of the house, so the outdoor life here runs both ways. Off-street parking and a full garage give the car a place that isn't the curb, which is a practical point you'll notice quickly if you've parked on a busy block.
Inside, the eat-in kitchen has a kitchen island, and built-ins, ceiling fans and storage are part of the rooms. The house is heated with baseboard heat, which is worth knowing about before you plan furniture placement along the walls.
McKinley Park is about 6 minutes on foot and Leif Ericson Park is about 7, so there's parkland close to the house as well as the yard. The N at Fort Hamilton Pkwy is about 13 minutes away on foot, and HL Supermarket is about 6 minutes, so a regular errand doesn't need the car.
