Herlong Sotheby’s International Realty sets new Greenville City record with $5 million deal
June 12, 2026
Herlong Sotheby’s International Realty has set another Upstate real estate record.
Joan Herlong, founder and CEO of Herlong Sotheby’s International Realty, represented the buyers in the $5 million closing of 22 Bennett Street. This broke the previous record for a single-family home sale inside City of Greenville limits of $4.5 million, which was also held by Herlong.
Surrounded by majestic oaks, magnolias, and curated gardens, 22 Bennett offers extraordinary privacy just minutes from downtown. The 9,300 SF main urban estate has been thoughtfully reimagined for modern living while honoring its architectural heritage that dates back to the 1920s. It offers unmatched flexibility for multigenerational living or a luxurious private retreat. The main residence encompasses more than 6,500 SF with five bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths, blending elegant English manor influence with sophisticated updates including a main-level primary suite with garden access, chef’s kitchen, and wine cellar.
“This milestone reflects the continued demand for Greenville’s most exceptional properties and the strength of the luxury market across Upstate South Carolina,” Herlong said.
