About This Home
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 1⁄2 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 1⁄2 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.
