189 Hancock Street se yon gwo, achitekti rich 1886 Neo-Grec brownstone ki te fèt pa eminant achitèk Brooklyn Isaac D. Reynolds. Reynolds te asire ke kay sa a ki gen gwo enpòtans te gen tout eleman ki defini Mouvman Estetik la. Youn nan mouvman kiltirèl ki pi enpòtan nan fen 19yèm syèk la, Mouvman Estetik la se yon faz dekoratif, atistik nan epòk Viktoryèn nan.

Avèk plafon ki wo, chanm ki byen pwopòsyonèl, ak yon pakèt detay orijinal toupatou — ki gen ladan sis mantèl, planchè an bwa parquet ak bord inlay, kabinè entegre, pòs nouvo an bwa mogany, pòt poche, ak dekoratif anplis ak modèl an bwa — kay sa a remakab montre tout karakteristik ki souvan ap chèche nan brownstone Brooklyn ki pi esplandide yo.

Menm ou pote achitèk ou a ak retabli kay sa a nan glwa karakteristik li yo. Kay sa a ki gen kat etaj, legal pou de fanmi, fèt kounye a kòm yon triplex pou proprietè a, ak kwizin ak sal manje ki sitiye nan nivo jaden an. Sal devan an se yon espas vivan ki wo ak yon miwa etonan ak fenèt ki gwo, pandan ke sal dèyè a gen kabinè entegre, yon mantèl chemine ak yon sou mantèl, ak travay relief anplis konplike ki kouwone sal la. Nan tèt la, ant de gwo chanm yo, kabinè ki te entegre orijinal la rete entak epi yon sèl twalèt gen yon beny ak pye claw orijinal la. Apartman ki nan dènye etaj la gen de chanm, yon kwizin modènize, ak yon twalèt renove.

189 Hancock sitiye nan zòn istorik Bedford ki trè dezirab, tou pre arè tren ekspres A/C ansanm ak estasyon Long Island Railroad. Kèk kote popilè tou pre yo enkli Bunny, Le Paris Dakar, Alive Herbal, Hart’s, Glorietta Baldy, Peaches Hot House, Tilly’s, Corto, Peace & Riot, Chicky’s General Store, Bed-Vyne, ak tout amenite ke Nostrand, Tompkins, Bedford, ak Franklin Aves tou pre yo ofri.

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.
