Ang 189 Hancock Street ay isang grand, arkitektural na mayaman na Neo-Grec brownstone na dinisenyo noong 1886 ng kilalang arkitekto ng Brooklyn na si Isaac D. Reynolds. Tiniyak ni Reynolds na ang stately home na ito ay pinarangalan ng lahat ng mga elemento na nagtatakda sa Aesthetic Movement. Isa sa mga pinakamahalagang kilusang kultural ng huling bahagi ng ika-19 na siglo, ang Aesthetic Movement ay isang pandekorasyon, artistikong yugto ng Victorian era.

Sa mga tumataas na kisame, maganda ang proporsyon ng mga silid, at isang napakaraming orihinal na detalye sa buong tahanan — kabilang ang anim na mantel, parquet wood floors na may inlay borders, built-in cabinetry, mahogany newel post, pocket doors, at magarbong plaster at wood moldings — ang kahanga-hangang tahanan na ito ay nagpapakita ng lahat ng hinahangad na mga tampok ng pinakamaganda sa mga brownstone sa Brooklyn.

Dalhin ang iyong arkitekto at ibalik ang tahanang ito sa katangi-tanging kaluwalhatian nito. Ang apat na palapag, legal na tahanan na may dalawang pamilya ay kasalukuyang naka-configure bilang triplex ng may-ari, na ang kusina at dining room ay nasa antas ng hardin. Ang harapang parlor ay isang mataas na living space na may nakakamanghang pier mirror at napakalaking bintana, habang ang likod na parlor ay may built-in cabinetry, mantel ng fireplace na may over-mantle, at masalimuot na plaster relief-work na nagpapaganda sa silid. Sa itaas, sa pagitan ng dalawang malalaking silid-tulugan, ang orihinal na built-in pass-through cabinetry ay nananatiling buo at ang buong banyo ay may orihinal na claw-foot tub. Ang apartment sa itaas na palapag ay may dalawang silid-tulugan, isang na-update na kusina, at isang na-renovate na banyo.

Ang 189 Hancock ay perpektong matatagpuan sa highly desirable na Bedford Historic District, malapit sa A/C express train stop pati na rin sa Long Island Railroad station. Ang mga paboritong hotspot sa malapit ay kinabibilangan ng Bunny, Le Paris Dakar, Alive Herbal, Hart’s, Glorietta Baldy, Peaches Hot House, Tilly’s, Corto, Peace & Riot, Chicky’s General Store, Bed-Vyne, at lahat ng mga amenidad na inaalok ng malapit na Nostrand, Tompkins, Bedford, at Franklin Aves.

Si Frank Harwood Sellman, isang kilalang negosyante at executive sa industriya ng paggawa ng katad sa Amerika noong ika-19 na siglo, ay nagsilbing Pangulo ng Sellman Company. Siya at ang kanyang pamilya ang unang naninirahan sa tahanan, nanirahan dito ng halos 40 taon.
