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.
