From Department Store to Penthouse: Charlotte’s Landmark Reimagined | Welcome to Penthouse #615 at The Ivey’s — Uptown Charlotte’s crown jewel. Rising above North Tryon Street, this residence boasts more than 4,500 square feet of living space, uniting the grandeur of a bygone era with the sophistication of modern luxury. The Ivey’s was originally constructed in the 1920s as J.B. Ivey’s Department Store, a limestone landmark that stands at the center of Charlotte’s retail and cultural life. Nearly a century later, the building has been transformed into a boutique destination with a five-star hotel, celebrated dining, and private residences. Today, residents enjoy direct interior access to Church & Union, Sophia’s Lounge, and the newly opened Monarch Market, Uptown’s latest chef-driven food hall. Inside the penthouse, every detail has been thoughtfully curated. Defined by its soaring 20+ foot ceilings, the great room is a statement of scale and design, with towering shop-style windows that frame iconic views of Uptown and a hand-painted mural by artist Randall Kane wrapping the space in one-of-a-kind artistry. A sleek modern fireplace with customizable LED lighting, paired with sconces and grand chandeliers, creates a dramatic yet inviting ambiance. The adjoining living room offers a more intimate retreat, anchored by a central entertainment wall, ceiling fan, and motorized shades for effortless light control. The kitchen is both functional and extraordinary, outfitted with an iconic AGA cast-iron oven celebrated for its radiant heat and timeless craftsmanship, Sub-Zero refrigeration, a copper sink with disposal, quartz counters and backsplash, and an oversized island with a built-in Zephyr beverage center. Flowing naturally into the billiard room, this space was designed for entertaining. An oversized English snooker table stands beneath custom lighting, while a floor-to-ceiling glass wine wall showcasing up to 200 bottles is paired with additional custom displays, a wet bar finished in quartz, and a cozy adjoining library with custom shelving. The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, complete with a private sitting area, floor-to-ceiling windows with motorized shades, and an expansive bath finished in marble and quartz. A Bain Ultra soaking tub, an oversized steam shower with infused aromatherapy, and a floating vanity with illuminated mirrors transform the suite into a haven of wellness and relaxation. An oversized custom closet further elevates the space. Three sizable guest bedrooms (2 with en-suite baths) and walk-in closets provide privacy and comfort. A hidden staircase leads to a flexible upstairs space ideal for an office or gym. Throughout the home, modern conveniences enhance daily living: brilliant lighting and audio controls set the mood in every space, a SONOS audio system fills each room with sound, Toto toilets add comfort in every bath, and motorized shades provide ease throughout. Practical amenities include an additional storage room upstairs and a reserved storage unit in the building. Rare for Uptown, three dedicated and secure parking spaces are also included. The Ivey’s Residences offer boutique exclusivity and enjoy 24-hour concierge and security, a fitness center stocked with cooling towels, snacks, and waters, a private library lounge, and a sun-filled atrium sitting area. With Sophia’s Lounge named “Best Upscale Cocktail Bar” by Charlotte Magazine, Church & Union serving modern-American cuisine from Top Chef alum Jamie Lynch, and Monarch Market redefining the Uptown dining experience — all accessible without stepping outside — this address is more than a home. It is a lifestyle rooted in history, culture, and convenience. The Ivey’s Penthouse is not just another residence; it is a living piece of Charlotte’s story, a space where architectural history meets modern artistry, and where the very best of Uptown is at your doorstep.
