These are the five highest-priced home sales reported in the Silver Spring Area, Maryland for the week ending November 8, 2026, and together they total $4.844 million. All five are in Montgomery County, three in Silver Spring and two in Kensington. Four are single-family homes and one is a townhouse, and the group spans well over a century of building, from a home finished in the 1890s to one completed in the last decade. Two of the sales, in Kensington Estates and Chelsea Heights, came to the same price, and Compass was the listing brokerage on three of the five.
No. 1 — $1,485,000 · 3911 Prospect St, Kensington, Maryland
The top sale of the week was a Queen Anne Victorian in the Kensington Park neighborhood, which sold for $1.485 million. Built in 1898, it is the oldest of the five homes, and it stands on a double lot of 0.40 acres, the largest lot in this Top 5, in the heart of Kensington’s historic district.
Period detail runs through the interior. Glass doorknobs, transom windows and pocket doors survive alongside heart pine floors, fine millwork and historic light fixtures, and the original fireplace mantels remain. The home has front and back staircases, and there is even a hidden room. On the main level, a formal living room has a bay window and a gas fireplace, while a family room with a second fireplace opens to a side deck. The formal dining room has a large built-in china cabinet and a door to the back porch. The kitchen has been renovated with custom cabinetry, Silestone counters and a tin ceiling, and it has its own back stair to the second floor.
The four bedrooms are on the upper level, which also opens to an upper porch, and stairs continue to the attic. A finished lower level adds recreation and guest space, a full bath and its own outside entrance. In all, the home has three bathrooms and 4,098 square feet over four stories, the most living area among the five.
Outside are front, side and rear porches, the last of them covered, along with a private brick patio. The established gardens have more than fifty mature flowering trees and shrubs. Kensington’s restaurants, shops and parks are within walking distance, as are its weekly farmers market and the Noyes Children’s Library.
