About This Property
Introducing 1265 86th Street, an extraordinary detached
Victorian residence situated on one of Dyker Heights' most
picturesque tree-lined blocks, directly across from the renowned
Dyker Park Golf Course. Resting on an impressive 10,600 sq. ft. lot
(106 x 100 ft), this stately home offers nearly 3,760 sq. ft. of
interior living space across three levels, plus a fully finished
basement with a powder room and separate yard entrance. Configured
as a legal single-family residence, the property offers exceptional
flexibility for a mother-daughter setup or for those seeking a
grand single-family lifestyle with ample room for everyone. The
main level welcomes you with a gracious, light-filled layout
featuring formal living and dining rooms, a bright sunroom, and a
versatile bonus room ideal for a home office or den. This level
also includes three spacious bedrooms, perfectly suited for
everyday living. Upstairs, the second level centers around a
gorgeous renovated chef's kitchen with a large center island,
stainless-steel appliances, and stone countertops-perfectly
balancing form and function. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cozy
nook, ideal for a small home office or reading area, along with
separate formal living and dining spaces that open through onto a
breezy deck-the perfect setting for morning coffee, entertaining
guests, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The third level offers a
tranquil retreat, featuring a lofted living area and the primary
bedroom, complete with a bonus cedar-lined cupola and skylights
that fill the space with natural light and warmth. Throughout the
home, original period details-including restored stained-glass
windows, hardwood floors, crown molding, and a grand oak
staircase-are beautifully complemented by thoughtful modern
upgrades such as new electrical, lighting and plumbing. The
residence also features four full bathrooms and one half bath,
providing exceptional comfort and convenience throughout. Outside,
the grounds are truly remarkable: a park-like oasis with lush
landscaping, mature trees, and expansive green space that evokes a
private suburban sanctuary. The property also includes a wide brick
driveway and a detached four-car garage. Multiple outdoor
spaces-two verandas, a second-floor Trex deck, and a fully fenced
yard-provide endless opportunities for entertaining or quiet
relaxation. Additional highlights include a solid brick and stone
exterior with new Hardie siding and roof, along with a wood-burning
fireplace. Located within the coveted District 20 school zone, this
exceptional residence offers close proximity to top-rated schools,
express bus lines, local shopping, and fine dining. A rare
opportunity to own one of Dyker Heights' most distinguished
properties- a timeless Victorian gem offering scale, character, and
