William Means Real Estate Sets New Record with Sale of $15M Historic Property on Shem Creek
Press Release
William Means Real Estate today announced that it facilitated the sale of 100 Haddrell Street, a property significant to the history of Mount Pleasant. Setting the town’s residential sales record, this 1.32-acre property encompasses all that Charleston has to offer with panoramic views of the city’s downtown skyline, Ravenel Bridge, Fort Sumter, Sullivan’s Island, Castle Pinckney and Patriots Point across the mouth of Shem Creek. With the sale of 100 Haddrell Street, William Means Real Estate is the No. 1 boutique firm in Mount Pleasant with $45 million in sales with an average sales price of $2.1 million so far this year.
According to the Town of Mount Pleasant Historical Commission, Haddrell’s Point extended along the waterfront from Shem Creek to Cove Inlet and was named for the early settler, George Haddrell. The land bordering Shem Creek became home to important industries including factories, canneries, as well as rice and sawmills which drew power from the tides of the creek. With ceremonial fanfare, President George Washington embarked from Haddrell’s Point to Charleston, during his Southern tour in 1791.
“This house is a gem in the heart of Mount Pleasant, offering the best views of our area,” said Lyles Geer, President and Broker-in-Charge of William Means Real Estate. “It is a reflection of the demand for property with natural views with a bit of seclusion and room to breathe while still being close to Charleston’s history and charm.”
Sparing no expense during the 2003 construction, this 7,015-square-foot house has five bedrooms, and five and a half baths. Interior features include 12-foot ceilings, fine custom cypress cabinetry, a large gourmet kitchen, as well as reclaimed, wide-planked antique heart pine floors throughout. In addition to a pool facing Charleston Harbor, there is a 30-foot deepwater covered dock on Shem Creek. With views from virtually every position inside and outside this house, the property remains secluded from the street.
As one of the oldest real estate companies in Charleston and an exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, William Means Real Estate has sold more than $107 million so far this year. In addition to its top ranking in Mount Pleasant so far this year, the firm ranked as the No. 1 company in downtown Charleston and South of Broad during the first quarter.
