Set along one of Charlotte's most distinguished residential corridors, this exceptional whole-floor penthouse at 974 Queens Road presents a rare convergence of scale, privacy, and architectural refinement. With a recent $250,000 price reduction, the opportunity to acquire a residence of this stature has become even more compelling. Spanning more than 5,300 square feet, the residence occupies an entire floor and is framed by expansive east- and west-facing terraces-an uncommon luxury in such a prestigious, established setting. Morning light filters through the treetops, while evening skies unfold across the skyline, creating a serene yet dynamic backdrop throughout the day. A secure elevator delivers you directly into a gracious foyer, setting the tone for the home's thoughtful layout and elegant flow. Ten-foot ceilings, wide-plank hardwood flooring, and walls of glass define the interiors, while three gas fireplaces introduce warmth and architectural presence to the primary living spaces. The kitchen is both refined and functional, appointed with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, distinctive tilework, and a waterfall-edge quartz island. Open to a light-filled family room with built-in cabinetry, the space is designed to support both everyday living and sophisticated entertaining. The primary suite offers a true sense of retreat, with direct terrace access, a spa-inspired bath, and a generously scaled custom closet. Additional bedrooms and flexible living spaces provide comfort and versatility for guests, offices, or extended stays-each finished with the same attention to detail and proportion. Outdoor living is a defining element of this penthouse. The expansive terraces extend the living experience beyond the interior, offering rare, usable outdoor space well-suited for entertaining, quiet reflection, or simply enjoying the mature canopy that surrounds the property. With its recent price improvement, this penthouse stands as a distinguished offering for those seeking privacy, volume, and timeless appeal in one of Charlotte's most desirable neighborhoods. A residence of quiet confidence-now thoughtfully repositioned. Shown by private appointment.
