About this 7 bedroom 4 bath house

Known as the Wilbur House, or “Sunnyside,” this remarkable Second Empire Victorian offers a rare blend of historic character, architectural presence, and timeless charm. Built circa 1887 and sited on nearly a half acre, the residence is among the original estates positioned along the Ashton-Colesville Turnpike and retains many of its defining period details, including a mansard roof, original windows, interior paneling, hardwood floors, ceiling roses, moldings, and fireplaces. A private drive leads through beautifully tended gardens with an in-ground irrigation system, arriving at a brick paved walkway and a welcoming porch—one of three porches found throughout the home. Inside, double entry doors open to an impressive foyer anchored by a striking staircase with hand-turned newel posts and spindles, paneled wainscoting, and original hardwood flooring. To the right, the light-filled double parlor features original floor-to-ceiling windows, an arched bay window overlooking the side yard, and two fireplaces. To the left, a large office with built-ins and a fireplace connect to a formal sitting room with wainscoting and a fourth fireplace. At the rear of the home, the skylit eat-in kitchen combines modern finishes with historic texture, offering stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a full-height quartz backsplash, exposed brick, and French doors opening directly to the deck and private outdoor setting. A second rear staircase, butler’s pantry, mudroom with laundry, and half bath complete the main level. Upstairs, the second floor includes four bedrooms and two full baths, while the third floor provides a primary enclave with three additional bedrooms, a sitting area and adjoining primary ensuite bath. The outdoor spaces are an escape from reality boasting a professionally designed garden that blooms year round, anchored by pergola wrapped in mature jasmine, wisteria, and clematis. Additional exterior features include a hot tub and an outdoor shower with a tankless water heater. While the home is tucked into a peaceful, serene setting it remains convenient to nearby attractions including; Sligo Creek Trail (0.2Mi), Zinnia Restaurant (0.2 Mi), The Fillmore & AFI Silver Theatre (0.8Mi), Downtown Silver Spring & Whole Foods 1Mi), Sniders Super Foods (1.1Mi) and Silver Spring Metro/Downtown Silver Spring (1.3Mi) --offering both retreat-like privacy and everyday accessibility.
