1646 Carlton Street is a masterclass in contemporary architecture and modern luxury. Set within the gated NOVO community in Logan Square-just steps from the city's most celebrated museums-this 28-foot-wide, 4-bedroom, 6-bath residence blends dramatic design with impeccable craftsmanship. The exterior makes an unforgettable first impression with intricate modern brickwork, custom metal cladding, striking window compositions, and a floating stone terrace. A custom solid walnut pivoting door leads into a gracious foyer, where a first-floor office or guest suite faces the street, complete with custom built-ins and a corner window. Direct interior access to the three-car garage adds ease and convenience. Throughout the home, radiant heated floors provide unparalleled comfort and refinement-visible evidence of the home's elevated standard of construction. Ascending to the main living level, you pass a sculptural powder room defined by its dramatic stone backsplash. The primary living floor unfolds into a breathtaking open space-minimalist yet warm-anchored by a European chef's kitchen with a massive Super White quartzite island and matching full-height backsplash. Appliances are all top-tier, including a Thermador built-in coffee maker, double wall ovens, integrated knob cooktop, drawer microwave, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and pot filler. Custom lighting adds a gallery-like ambiance. Adjacent to the kitchen, the living room is nothing short of extraordinary, offering a double-height volume, cove lighting, and a sleek gas fireplace wrapped in porcelain. Floor-to-ceiling glass opens to a private balcony with pedestal pavers, creating effortless indoor/outdoor connectivity. A dining area with a fully outfitted butler's pantry completes this level, supported by thoughtful details such as linear slot diffusers and large-format floor tiles. Take the floating staircase-or elevator-to the mezzanine level, which overlooks the living room below. This floor includes a lounge or family room and two well-proportioned bedrooms, each with en-suite baths. The primary suite occupies an entire level and functions as a private retreat in the sky. A full wet bar with stone counters and beverage refrigeration anchors the landing, and a concealed door reveals the laundry room. The bedroom features soaring ceilings and a dramatic 10-foot Pella sliding glass wall opening to a private balcony. The walk-in closet resembles a boutique dressing room, complete with center island and custom organizers. Pocket doors lead to the spa-inspired bath, featuring a Porcelanosa soaking tub, expansive glass shower, and a floating double vanity with wall-integrated Brizo faucets. At the top of the floating staircase, an additional half bath precedes the rooftop terrace-over 800 square feet of private outdoor living. This extraordinary space includes a louvered pergola, an outdoor kitchen with a stainless grill, and a luxurious Bradford hot tub. Panoramic skyline views make this rooftop one of the most impressive private outdoor spaces in the city. The lower level echoes the feel of a boutique hotel lounge, featuring a custom bar, integrated sound system, and a separate fitness room (4th bedroom) and a full bath. The home's smart-tech infrastructure is extensive, including multiple HVAC zones, whole-home audio, and more. 1646 Carlton Street is not just a residence-it is a work of modern art, offering sophisticated architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and a lifestyle unmatched in the heart of Philadelphia.
