3 Queen Street 209

Set at the coveted corner of Queen and State Streets, Unit 209 at Queens Gate pairs the character and scale of historic Charleston architecture with a sophisticated, newly renovated interior. Originally built in 1885, the building occupies an exceptional position in the heart of the French Quarter, surrounded by some of the city’s most celebrated architecture, restaurants, galleries, and cultural landmarks. The residence itself underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2025 and is beautifully finished and truly move-in ready. Inside, dramatic approx. 20-foot ceilings, exposed brick, and an open floor plan create a wonderful sense of volume and character. The main living room is anchored by an electric fireplace, while a separate office or study features custom built-ins.

The newly renovated kitchen is both elegant and functional with custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops, a La Cornue induction range, generous storage, and an adjoining dining area.

The two-level floor plan offers well-proportioned bedroom suites with private baths and excellent closet space, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and beautifully renovated bath with walk-in shower. Thoughtful improvements extend well beyond the finishes, with new plumbing, new HVAC systems, a Rinnai hot water heater with recirculating pump, new millwork, and an integrated Sonos system.

Adding to the appeal is private garage parking, an especially valuable amenity in this downtown location. Queens Gate also recently completed extensive exterior renovations and repointing, preserving the historic character of the building while complementing the extensive investment made within the residence.

With its exceptional location, historic architectural details, and high-end designer renovation, Unit 209 offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of downtown Charleston in a residence that feels both timeless and completely current.
