Description

Steeped in Charleston history, 8 1/2 Elliott Street is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Holy City's storied past. Built in 1779 by merchant John Scott, the historic Scott-Foster House has witnessed centuries of Charleston life, serving as a residence, grocery, and saloon, and even housing British soldiers during the American Revolution and U.S. Navy servicemen during World War II. Recognized with a Carolopolis Award for historic preservation, this remarkable South of Broad residence beautifully blends historic character with modern comfort. A private side entrance along charming Gadsden Alley welcomes you into a distinctive two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home featuring exposed brick, custom built-ins, multiple fireplaces, and timeless architectural details. A private patio provid es a charming outdoor retreat, while the home's thoughtful layout and separate entrance offer exceptional versatility. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, an elegant Charleston pied-à-terre, or an investment opportunity to own the bottom half (8), 8 1/2 Elliott Street offers a rare chance to experience historic Charleston living in one of downtown's most treasured settings.
