280 Meeting comprises seven luxury residences nestled in the exclusive Ansonborough neighborhood. These new construction residences are tucked between the rooftops of Charleston's historic Peninsula and the vibrant new luxury residential block of Meeting Street.The site is being reimagined as seven private residences--five condos within a restored main building and two townhomes wrapped around a garden courtyard with a pool. The work is led by Bello | Garris Architects, whose practice on the Peninsula is known for a disciplined, quietly classical hand.The site sits a few blocks from Marion Square and the King Street retail corridor, closer still to the neighborhood cafes, galleries and residential lanes that have always defined Charleston's Peninsula.The gesture here is restraint: preserve the scale of the block, recess the new construction behind a stucco garden wall, and let the daylight, ironwork, and historic nature of Ansonborough lead the design. The interior direction takes its cues from the historic fabric of Ansonborough--the quiet rhythm of bespoke trim and millwork, the patina of unlacquered brass, the broad plan of a natural white-oak floor. The intent is rooms that age into the building rather than against it. Palettes lean warm and quiet--ivory and bone, dust and clay, within deep tannin accents. Floors are wide white-oak plank in a natural finish; walls carry bespoke trim and millwork; custom painted cabinetry and stained-oak built-ins throughout. Stones are honed rather than polished. Hardware is unlacquered brass in the main-building residences and polished nickel in the townhouse baths. 10-to-11-foot ceiling heights throughout the residences. Exquisite taste coupled with pleasing design touches with the finest stones & wood surfaces combined with premium Thermador appliances speak to a modern home with the vestiges of the historic patina of Downtown Charleston. The palette was chosen with care--rooted in the deep history and traditions of one of Charleston's oldest neighborhoods, yet quietly attuned to how these residences will be lived in today. Amenities include a pool, fitness center with sauna, and both garage and surface parking. Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2026, with an expected delivery in the second quarter of 2028. Townhouse 140, located in the rear of the property, offers 3,300 square feet of luxury living. This residence offers three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths with an additional 900 square feet of outdoor space overlooking the pool. This three-level residence is equipped with an elevator for the convenience of the owner, the flex space can be used as an office, family room, or guest suite. This townhouse also includes a dedicated assigned parking space on the property.

Some homes announce themselves. Others remain quietly hidden, waiting to be discovered. Tucked behind the storied Category I James Jervey House, down one of Ansonborough's most peaceful, tree-lined streets, sits a residence few ever have the opportunity to experience. Shielded by private gardens and tucked away from the rhythm of downtown Charleston, this exceptional brick carriage house offers a rare kind of privacy in one of the city's most historic and sought-after neighborhoods. From the moment you step through the gate, the pace changes. The noise of the city fades, replaced by a sense of calm that feels increasingly rare in downtown Charleston.It is a home that feels intimate, timeless, and deeply connected to the city's architectural heritage while embracing the comforts of modern living. Natural light pours through the home, highlighting original architectural details and warm, inviting living spaces. The living room overlooks the gardens, creating a peaceful backdrop for everyday life, while a graceful archway leads to the formal dining room, where evenings naturally linger over dinner with family and friends. The beautifully updated kitchen is as functional as it is refined, anchored by a new Wolf gas range and designed to make everyday living feel effortless. Each floor unfolds with its own sense of purpose. The second level offers a spacious primary suite alongside a comfortable den that easily serves as a third bedroom or private office. Above, the third floor feels almost like a hidden retreat, where exposed beams, abundant natural light, and an open-concept design create a space limited only by your imagination, guest quarters, an artist's studio, a library, or a quiet escape from the world below. While the character of the home speaks to Charleston's past, its conveniences are unmistakably modern. Private gated off-street parking behind an electronic gate, one of downtown's rarest luxuries, and an elevation well above the flood zone provide a level of practicality that is increasingly difficult to find within the Historic District. Ansonborough has long been one of Charleston's most cherished neighborhoods, where historic homes, quiet streets, and walkable access to the city's finest restaurants, galleries, parks, and waterfront create a lifestyle unlike anywhere else. Opportunities to own an authentic carriage house in this setting are exceptionally limited. This is more than a home. It is a quiet retreat hidden within the heart of historic Charleston, a place where history, architecture, and everyday living come together in a way that simply cannot be replicated.
