The St. Charles Market condominiums are a remarkable blend of heritage and modernity, nestled in the heart of Beechwood Village. Housed within the beautifully restored landmark of the former St. Charles Church, this development reimagines community living with a thoughtful balance of historical charm and contemporary design. As part of a visionary project, plans are underway to introduce a restaurant within the old church, enhancing the already charming, village-like atmosphere that makes this neighbourhood so special.

Suite 501 is a bright and inviting residence that immediately feels like home. Bathed in natural light, this corner unit has been tastefully customized by its current owners with careful attention to both aesthetics and function. The open-concept kitchen is anchored by a large island, wrapped in sweeping quartz counters and complemented by a warm terracotta backsplash that adds a touch of Bohemian flair. Outfitted with premium Fisher & Paykel appliances, it’s a space designed to inspire — whether you’re preparing an everyday meal or hosting friends for dinner.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the living and dining areas, creating an airy sense of openness and connection to the outdoors. A Juliette balcony offers the perfect perch for morning coffee or Al Fresco-style dining in the warmer months. Just off the main living space, a stylish glass-enclosed den serves as an ideal home office or flex space — easily doubling as a guest area when needed.

The private quarters are thoughtfully separated from the main living space. The secondary bedroom is serviced by a modern, luxe 3-piece bathroom, while the serene primary suite is a true retreat. With a well-planned closet system and a spa-inspired ensuite featuring a freestanding soaking tub, heated floors, double vanity, and a sleek glass shower, it’s the ultimate place to unwind.

Life at St. Charles Market is as much about lifestyle as it is about location. The community is warm and welcoming, with social opportunities for those who wish to connect. Residents enjoy access to curated amenities, and the surrounding neighbourhood continues to evolve into one of Ottawa’s most desirable pockets. Whether it’s grabbing a coffee at a nearby café, exploring boutique shops, enjoying a yoga class, or picking up groceries — everything you need is just steps away. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby cycling trails, leafy parks, and even The Pond for seasonal swimming.

And best of all, you’re just minutes from the city’s cultural and political heart. The National Arts Centre, Parliament Hill, the ByWard Market — all easily accessible within 15 minutes.
