189 Hancock Street je veličanstvena, arhitektonski bogata neogecijanska smeđa kuća iz 1886. godine, koju je dizajnirao istaknuti brooklynski arhitekt Isaac D. Reynolds. Reynolds se pobrinuo da ova impozantna kuća bude ukrašena svim elementima koji definiraju Estetski pokret. Jedan od najvažnijih kulturnih pokreta kasnog 19. stoljeća, Estetski pokret je dekorativna, umjetnička faza viktorijanske ere.

S visokim stropovima, lijepo proporcionalnim sobama i mnoštvom originalnih detalja, uključujući šest kamina, parketne drvene podove s umetnutim rubovima, ugrađene ormariće, mahagonijevu oslonac za stepenice, klizna vrata i ukrasne žbuke i drvene lijevane elemete — ova izvanredna kuća prikazuje sve poželjne osobine najdivnijih brooklynskih smeđih kuća.

Dovedite svog arhitekta i obnovite ovu kuću u njenoj karakterističnoj slavi. Ova četverokatna, legalna dvjefamilijska kuća trenutno je konfigurisana kao triplex za vlasnika, s kuhinjom i blagovaonicom smještenim na razini vrta. Prednja salon je visoko stambeni prostor s zapanjujućim ogledalom i prostranim prozorima, dok stražnji salon sadrži ugrađene ormariće, kamin s nadkaminom i složene ukrase od žbuke koji krase prostoriju. Na gornjem katu, između dvije velike spavaće sobe, originalni ugrađeni ormarići za prolaz su netaknuti, a kupaonica ima originalnu kadu s nogicama. Stan na najvišem katu uključuje dvije spavaće sobe, ažuriranu kuhinju i renoviranu kupaonicu.

189 Hancock je idealno smješten u visoko poželjnom Bedford Historic Districtu, blizu A/C brze željezničke stanice kao i stanice Long Island Railroad.

Frank Harwood Sellman, istaknuti trgovac i izvršni direktor američke industrije kože iz 19. stoljeća, služio je kao predsjednik Sellman Company. On i njegova obitelj bili su prvi stanovnici ove kuće, živeći u njoj gotovo 40 godina.

189 Hancock Street is a grand, architecturally rich 1886 Neo-Grec brownstone designed by the eminent Brooklyn architect Isaac D. Reynolds. Reynolds made sure this stately home was graced with all the elements that define the Aesthetic Movement. One of the most important cultural movements of the late 19th century, the Aesthetic Movement is a decorative, artistic phase of the Victorian era.

With soaring ceilings, beautifully proportioned rooms, and a plethora of original details throughout — including six mantels, parquet wood floors with inlay borders, built-in cabinetry, mahogany newel post, pocket doors, and ornate plaster and wood moldings — this remarkable home showcases all the coveted features of the most splendid Brooklyn brownstones.

Bring your architect and restore this home to its characteristic glory. This four-story, legal two-family home is currently configured as an owner’s triplex, with the kitchen and dining room situated on the garden level. The front parlor is a lofty living space with a stunning pier mirror and over-sized windows, while the rear parlor features built-in cabinetry, a fireplace mantel with over-mantle, and intricate plaster relief-work that crowns the room. Upstairs, between the two large bedrooms, the original built-in pass-through cabinetry remains intact and a full bathroom has the original claw-foot tub. The top-floor apartment includes two bedrooms, an updated kitchen, and a renovated bath.

189 Hancock is ideally located in the highly desirable Bedford Historic District, close to the A/C express train stop as well as the Long Island Railroad station. Favorite nearby hotspots include Bunny, Le Paris Dakar, Alive Herbal, Hart’s, Glorietta Baldy, Peaches Hot House, Tilly’s, Corto, Peace & Riot, Chicky’s General Store, Bed-Vyne, and all the amenities that nearby Nostrand, Tompkins, Bedford, and Franklin Aves have to offer.

Frank Harwood Sellman, a prominent 19th-century merchant and executive in the American leather manufacturing industry, served as President of the Sellman Company. He and his family were the home’s first residents, living there for nearly 40 years.
