About this home

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. Sellers currently earning over $3500/month in rental income from both units!

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.
