Sunnyside, also known as the R.B. Whitley House, is a historic home located in Wendell, North Carolina, a town in eastern Wake County. The Craftsman house was built in 1918 by R. B. Whitley, a prominent Wendell businessman who founded the Bank of Wendell in 1907.

The brick home features car shelters on the front and side, a modern detail during the 1910s. In addition to the home, a wash house, smokehouse, garage, and four entrance pillars are located on the property. According to family tradition, Sunnyside was used as a hospital during the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918.

Sunnyside was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in October 2001.
