Some homes simply cannot be captured in a few photos, and 36 W Academy Street is one of them. Located in the heart of historic Wendell, this one-of-a-kind property brings together more than a century of character, incredible outdoor spaces, and a rare collection of three separate living areas that opens the door to so many possibilities. The main home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms and is filled with the warmth and personality you hope to find in a home of this era. A sprawling covered front porch welcomes you in, while beautiful wood floors, rich trim, wood ceilings, and charming architectural details create spaces that feel collected rather than manufactured. Beyond the main house, this property becomes something truly special. A separate 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home provides an incredible opportunity for rental income, extended family, guests, or multigenerational living, while a third detached suite with its own full bathroom creates even more flexibility for a private office, guest retreat, studio, or additional income-producing space. Then there is the garden. Tucked behind the homes is an expansive, established garden filled with raised beds and pathways that transforms the backyard into its own destination. Whether you envision mornings spent gardening, evenings entertaining outside, operating short or long-term rentals where permitted, or simply having room for everyone to have a space of their own, this property offers a lifestyle that is nearly impossible to replicate. All of this sits just moments from the shops, restaurants, events, and small-town charm of downtown Wendell. Historic character, multiple living spaces, potential rental income, and an unforgettable garden all come together at 36 W Academy Street. There is truly so much here to discover, and this is one you need to experience in person.

Own a unique part of historic Downtown Wendell. This property fronts 3 separate roads: Wendell Blvd, Marshburn Rd, and Academy St. It has a separate utilities, meter, and mailboxes for each building. The first building is a 2000 sq ft fully renovated historic home, currently offered on VRBO as ''Cottage on the Boulevard''. With 5 years of successful rent roll on VRBO and Airbnb, this property brings in around 45k a year. It is currently zoned residential, but could be converted to commercial. The second building is zoned as a storage building that is 1632 sf. This building has also been fully renovated with 4 office/deck spaces, conference table, kitchen and eating area, a classroom that seats 20, and storage . The parking lot is behind this brick building so it does not restrict the parking of the rental house or guests which use the driveway on Academy St. These two buildings are only separated by 6-8 feet so they can not be divided or sold separately. They could easily be combined to create a 4000 sf building, or used as is. The brick building currently generates rental revenue, but could be used or rented out as a full time retail or office building. The property is not in the historic district, but benefits from a tax reduction from the age of the property. It is within walking distance of downtown Wendell and has high visibility due to its location on three of the main road interchanges. Showings will need to be arranged around guests as this is a very popular and successful VRBO rental. Seller financing possible.
