Overview
History meets refined Charleston living. Built in 1779 by merchant John Scott and honored with a Carolopolis Award from the Preservation Society of Charleston, the Scott-Foster House tells the story of centuries past -- a residence, grocery, and saloon through the ages, occupied by British soldiers during the American Revolution and later by U.S. Navy servicemen during WWII. This legacy continues today at 8 1/2 Elliott Street, an elegant and spacious home that perfectly balances preserved history with modern luxury.Distinctive design and separate entry. Tucked along Gadsden Alley, 8 1/2 Elliott features its own private side entrance, creating a truly independent feel while still being part of this storied property. Inside, you'll find two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, thoughtfully laid out across light-filled spaces that showcase exposed brick walls, custom built-ins, and timeless architectural details.Outdoor connection. Two balconies overlook the charming shared patio, a quiet courtyard linking 8 and 8 Elliott perfect for relaxing or entertaining under Charleston's soft coastal light. The patio also provides convenient storage for trash bins for both residences.A living piece of Charleston's past. Offering flexible usage, generous proportions, and unparalleled history, 8 Elliott stands as both a rare opportunity and a celebration of preservation, embodying the soul of the Holy City and the enduring allure of South of Broad.*This property comes with 2 residential on street parking permits which can be applied for with the City of Charleston by it's new owner.""The sale of the subject property is contingent on Seller recording a master deed and other documents necessary to create separate condominium units and establish a horizontal property regime in accordance with the South Carolina Horizontal Property Act (SC Code Ann.
