What immediately distinguishes 136 Candlewick Drive is the scale of its lot and the rare workshop-ready outbuilding tucked behind the ranch. Sitting on nearly half an acre in Wendell’s Candlewick neighborhood, this single-story home blends practical updates with space to spread out: a 400 sq ft wired outbuilding offers a finished footprint for hobbies, a studio, or secure storage while the level yard invites gardens, a playset, or a future addition.
Inside, the home feels refreshed and intentionally simple. The updated kitchen features granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances set against clean cabinetry—an efficient workspace for everyday meals and casual entertaining. Bamboo hardwood floors run through much of the living area; fresh interior paint gives the rooms a bright, neutral backdrop that’s easy to personalize. The ranch layout keeps everything on one floor: three bedrooms and two full baths make the plan functional for families, downsizers, or buyers seeking single-level convenience.
Systems and utilities reflect the property’s country-suburb setting: central air and forced-air heat keep the house comfortable year-round while water is supplied by a well and wastewater is handled by a septic system. The home is served by propane and Duke Energy for electricity. There’s no attached garage, but the broad driveway accommodates multiple vehicles and makes access to the outbuilding straightforward.
Beyond the property line, Candlewick offers a quiet street experience with direct access to Wendell’s parks and downtown amenities. Wendell Park is about a mile away and Downtown Wendell’s small-business core—with cafés, seasonal markets, and community events—is within easy reach. Zoned R-20 and free of HOA restrictions, the lot also presents possibilities for accessory dwelling unit development or other permitted enhancements (buyer to verify with the Town of Wendell).
This home sits in a market that values move-in readiness and yard space. Recent sales of nearby ranches with similar footprints indicate a competitive price range, and the property’s combination of an updated interior, durable flooring, and a large wired outbuilding creates a compelling package for buyers seeking utility and future optionality. Prospective purchasers should confirm mechanical ages and site boundaries during inspection and consider the property’s well/septic utilities when planning any changes.
