36 Bleecker Street, 3-D

A collector-grade loft of rare architectural integrity, Residence 3D at The Schumacher offers nearly 2,900 square feet of meticulously designed interior space within one of downtown Manhattan’s most significant prewar condominium conversions. Reimagined by architect Morris Adjmi, this three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence is defined by soaring barrel-vaulted brick and terra-cotta ceilings, monumental arched windows, and a level of craftsmanship seldom achieved in contemporary development. Set within an 1885 Romanesque Revival landmark in the heart of NoHo, this is a home for buyers who value architectural authorship, volume, and discretion—where pedigree and proportion matter. A gracious entry gallery unfolds as a 39-foot corridor of light, lined with windows overlooking the Schumacher’s lush interior garden designed by Ken Smith. This tranquil passage establishes a sense of calm and separation from the city, leading seamlessly into a voluminous great room composed for both living and entertaining. Here, multiple seating and dining zones are bathed in natural light through four deep-set, oversized arched windows with leafy outlooks over Mott Street—an intentionally framed urban landscape that brings greenery and texture into the home year-round. The open kitchen is a sculptural composition in Calacatta marble, anchored by a waterfall island and outfitted with top-tier Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, and integrated smart-home technology. Designed to function as both a culinary workspace and social centerpiece, it blends seamlessly into the surrounding living spaces without visual interruption. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, offering a generous 14’ x 20’ sleeping chamber and an exceptional 10’ x 20’ custom dressing room—an uncommon luxury in downtown loft living. The windowed en-suite bath is spa-scaled and serene, featuring a soaking tub, shower, and double vanity executed in refined materials and proportions. Two additional bedrooms, each with soaring ceilings and courtyard views, are equally well appointed with en-suite baths. A thoughtfully positioned third bedroom offers added privacy, ideal as a guest suite, studio, or library. Throughout the residence, every detail reflects a disciplined commitment to materiality and craft: 8-foot oak-clad five-panel doors with matte black steel hardware, tailored millwork, custom cabinetry and vanities, and blackened steel window surrounds paired with natural oak floors, as well as whisper-quiet central air conditioning. These elements create a cohesive architectural language—subtle, tactile, and enduring. Originally constructed in 1885 as a lithographic printing house for Schumacher & Ettlinger and designed by Edward E. Raht, the building’s historic facade remains richly intact, distinguished by corbelled brickwork, arched openings, turrets, and ornamental detail. Today, it stands as a world-class boutique condominium of just 20 residences, seamlessly blending 19th-century craftsmanship with modern infrastructure. Only 3 units with this gracious floor plan design exist in the building. The Schumacher offers a discreet full-service living experience, including a 24-hour attended lobby, a residents’ library overlooking the interior sculpture garden, a 750-square-foot fitness center, a large children’s playroom, refrigerated storage, bicycle room, and a landscaped rooftop garden—also designed by Ken Smith—providing a rare, elevated outdoor retreat in the center of downtown Manhattan. 3D comes with a large private storage unit. Residence 3D is for buyers who collect architecture, value quiet luxury, and seek a residence defined by architectural intention and mastery and a flavor of Europe in New York. Note: Real estate taxes reflect full, un-abated taxes. Courtyard shown on floor plan is to display architectural layout of the building. It is not accessible or on the same level as the unit.
