Property Description
Own a Piece of Wendell's History - Prime Commercial Opportunity in the Heart of Downtown! Step back in time with this rare opportunity to own the iconic Wendell Barbershop, a cornerstone of the community for over 120 years. Located in the heart of downtown Wendell—one of the fastest-growing towns in Wake County—this charming building blends nostalgic character with modern upgrades.
The storefront features the classic barber pole mounted on the exterior, evoking the charm of a bygone era. Inside, the front portion of the shop is finished with a drop ceiling and active tenant operations, while the back half offers unfinished space showcasing a beautiful original pressed tin ceiling—a unique architectural detail perfect for restoration or repurposing.
Recent upgrades include:
New 3-ton HVAC system (2025) with a 5-year compressor warranty and 1-year parts warranty. This system is large enough for the unfinished area as well.
New roof installed July 2024 with a 15-year limited manufacturer's warranty and a 3-year labor warranty
The current tenant has expressed interest in signing a lease with the new owner, providing instant rental income potential.
Downtown Wendell is currently undergoing a major revitalization effort, including updated landscaping and expanded pedestrian-friendly space in front of commercial storefronts—making this an ideal time to invest.
Whether you're looking for a turnkey investment, a piece of local history, or a space to launch your own business, this property offers endless potential in a thriving community.
Don't miss your chance to own a legacy in downtown Wendell.
