The Charlesgate

The Charlesgate is a low-rise historic condominium building completed in 1910 and configured for one- and two-bedroom residences. The property preserves early-20th-century interior details — mosaic-tiled foyer floors, marble columns and decorative moldings — while offering modern upgrades like central air, in-unit laundry and elevator access. Units typically feature hardwood floors, oversized windows that capture views of Back Bay and the Charles River, fireplaces in some homes, and a range of layouts from garden-level six-room plans to penthouse corners. Common areas include a furnished entrance foyer, a professionally landscaped central courtyard with patio and herb plantings, a staffed lobby with intercom, basement storage bins, and a staffed rooftop deck with panoramic skyline and river views. Practical building services and amenities comprise on-site management and superintendent, two elevators (including handicapped access), building lighting and internet availability, and shared office/study spaces. Exterior traits emphasize city vistas, a roof deck with access rights, and a small private parking option nearby. The building’s location at the edge of Back Bay/Fenway places it steps from Newbury Street, the Charles River Esplanade, public transit, restaurants, galleries and green space, supporting an urban, walkable lifestyle with historic character.
