A true Uptown penthouse is defined by scale, light, and presence - and Penthouse #615 at The Ivey's delivers all three at a level rarely available in Charlotte. With nearly 4,600 square feet, soaring ~20-foot ceilings, and dramatic corner exposures overlooking Uptown and the historic Fourth Ward, this residence offers the volume and privacy of a custom home within one of the city's most iconic historic buildings. Once home to the offices of George Ivey himself, the penthouse represents a rare convergence of architectural legacy, grand scale, and modern luxury. Oversized shop-style windows flood the interiors with natural light, creating a gallery-like living experience framed by skyline and neighborhood views. Rare for Uptown, the residence includes three secure covered parking spaces, in-unit storage, and an additional private storage cage. The thoughtfully designed main level features the primary suite plus three additional bedrooms, while a discreetly accessed upper-level flex space offers ideal versatility for a home office, gym, or creative studio. The great room delivers dramatic scale with a hand-painted mural by local artist Randall Kane, premium lighting, and a modern fireplace with customizable LED ambiance. The chef's kitchen is designed for elevated entertaining, featuring Sub-Zero refrigeration, quartz counters and backsplash, a copper sink, built-in Zephyr beverage center, oversized island, and a statement AGA cast-iron range. Purpose-built entertaining spaces continue with a dedicated billiard room featuring an English snooker table, quartz wet bar, and a striking floor-to-ceiling glass wine display accommodating approximately 200 bottles, complemented by a refined library retreat with custom built-ins. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with sitting area, motorized shades, and a spa-inspired bath offering an aromatherapy steam shower, Bain Ultra soaking tub, heated floors, and a custom walk-in closet. Three additional guest bedrooms on the main level - two en-suite - provide comfort and flexibility for family or guests. Boutique building amenities include 24/7 concierge and security, a fitness center with cooling towels and refreshment bar, and a sun-filled atrium sitting area, with direct interior access to Church & Union, Sophia's Cocktail Lounge, and Monarch Market. A rare opportunity to own a legacy penthouse of this scale, privacy, and presence in the heart of Uptown Charlotte.
