Private street-level entrances, handcrafted wrought iron gates, brick verandas, mahogany doors and copper lanterns create a stately arrival point reflecting the city’s timeless Southern elegance. Inside, homes are outfitted with modern luxuries such as quartz and tile backsplashes, Viking and Bosch appliances, dedicated chef’s faucets, Kallista water fixtures, panelized refrigerators and dishwashers, custom soft-close cabinetry and ceilings ranging from 10 to 12 feet. Bathrooms evoke the tranquility of a high-end spa with oversized showers with benches and deep soaking tubs. Townhomes feature grand staircases, stately wooden doors, elegant crown molding and private two-car garages.
Residents of The Charles will have exclusive access to the deluxe facilities next door at The Jasper, including a rooftop pool, commercial fitness center with free-weight circuit facility, yoga and outdoor fitness areas on the Star Deck, locker rooms with showers and saunas, private wine lockers and a demonstration kitchen with catering prep space for private events.

“The Charles represents an opportunity to live in one of Charleston’s most sought-after waterfront locations, blending timeless architecture with elevated modern living,” said Dan Doyle, president of The Beach Company. “With thoughtfully designed residences, upscale amenities and an unbeatable location in historic Harleston Village, The Charles offers the pinnacle of luxury living in downtown Charleston and we look forward to welcoming our first residents later this year.”
Designed by Antunovich Associates, renowned for their expertise in historic preservation and adaptive reuse, The Charles' architecture will beautifully complement the city's rich history while incorporating contemporary elements. The Charles features stately brick facades, lushly landscaped gardens and a London-style mews, seamlessly honoring the city’s legacy of fine architecture and craftsmanship.
