Perched above the historic Cherokee Triangle, this striking urban penthouse residence at The Inverness delivers dramatic architecture, refined finishes, and a lifestyle that feels equal parts sophisticated and unexpected. Reimagined from the ground up in 2007 by renowned firm Joseph & Joseph, the original historic structure from 1927 was fully gutted, reinforced, and rebuilt into just 14 luxury condominiums, complete with all new electric, plumbing, geothermal HVAC, and secure underground parking. Upon entry, a beautifully crafted solid staircase immediately draws the eye and serves as the natural focal point of the home. The main living level unfolds with ease, offering an open yet intentional layout ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. The living room opens directly to a terrace-style balcony overlooking Cherokee Road, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection and a rare urban retreat above the treetops. The primary bedroom wing feels like a private sanctuary, featuring vaulted ceilings, generous flex space for a sitting area or workspace, and exceptional dual walk-in closets. The ensuite bath is well-appointed and thoughtfully designed, reinforcing the home's sense of quiet luxury. Upstairs, a spacious second bedroom with its own full bath is complemented by a loftstyle flex space, perfect for a home office, media room, or nonconforming third bedroom, with an additional full bath and closet nearby, offering uncommon versatility in a condo setting. Just steps from Cherokee Park and surrounded by the Highlands' most celebrated restaurants, cafes, and boutiques, this residence offers a rare opportunity to live in a home that feels both historic and cutting-edge. The monthly maintenance fee includes gas, water, sewer, master insurance, groundskeeping, trash and snow removal, and building security. A rare blend of architectural integrity, comfort, and location.
