Welcome to the Wilbur House - “Sunnyside” - this stunning and unique property combines beauty and gracious style. Built circa 1887, this Second Empire Victorian is one of the original estates on the Ashton-Colesville turnpike. Signature details abound - from the mansard roof and original windows to the indoor paneling, hardwood floors, ceiling roses, molding and fireplaces. A private driveway winds through the manicured gardens (with in-ground irrigation) to a paved walkway, broad front steps and a big, airy porch - one of three on the home. Double doors open onto a grand entrance - a beautiful staircase with hand-turned newel posts and spindles, paneled wainscoting, and original hardwoods. To the right of the entrance is the sun-filled “double parlor” with original floor-to-ceiling windows, a marvelous arched bay window overlooking the side yard and two fireplaces. To the left of the entrance is a large office with built-ins and a fireplace. This opens to a formal dining room with wainscoting and a fourth fireplace. At the back of the home is a skylit eat-in kitchen with exposed brick, and doors to a deck. A back staircase, butler’s pantry, mudroom with laundry and a half bath complete the main level. The second level offers four bedrooms and two full baths. The third level has three bedrooms, a sitting area. a fridge and wet bar and a full bath. The grounds are perfect for outdoor living. A pergola covered in mature jasmine, wisteria and clematis is fully lit for dinners and parties. There’s also a hot tub and outdoor shower. This enchanting property is conveniently located for commuting, shops and restaurants, yet it is tucked away in a peaceful, tranquil setting. The home is an individual site on the Montgomery County Master Plan for Historic Designation. See state and county websites for information on historic preservation tax credits. SELLER PREFERS TO CONVEY IN AS-IS CONDITION AND PRE INSPECTIONS ARE ENCOURAGED.
