Steeped in Charleston history, 8 1/2 Elliott Street is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Holy City's storied past.

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 provides a charming outdoor retreat, while the home's thoughtful layout and separate entrance offer exceptional versatility.
