Once a celebrated showstopper on the Victorian Society of Falls Church and Preservation Village Improvement Society garden tours, this timeless residence offers a rare opportunity to own a historic home with a name"”"Copeswood," circa 1910. Built by a member of the first Falls Church Town Council, this enchanting two-story frame home with a finished attic is a classic example of Victoria era Colonial Revival architecture, crowned by a hipped roof and defined by its extraordinary wraparound front and side porches, gracefully supported by graceful Doric-style columns. Rich in character, the 4 bedroom, 2 bath home retains many original features, including a tin roof that creates soothing rainy-day acoustics, warm pine floors, stained glass windows, and a charming breezeway. Thoughtfully updated and seamlessly expanded by the current owners, the home now blends historic charm with modern living. A spacious addition overlooking the mature gardens features a chef's kitchen, inviting breakfast nook, and a sun-filled family room with a cozy fireplace and direct access to a screened porch. Set on a spectacular 15,002 sq ft lot, the grounds are a private oasis with mature landscaping and a variety of fruit and nut trees, including apple, pear, hickory, hazelnut, and mulberry. Inside, approximately 3,550 square feet of living space unfolds with a welcoming foyer and grand staircase, high ceilings, oversized windows, elegant period trim, and charming blown glass details. The main level also offers a gracious dining room, a library (or optional bedroom for potential main level living options) a full bath, laundry room, and a convenient mudroom with handy side entrance off the side porch and carport. Upstairs, the generous primary bedroom includes an adjoining den or dressing room, complemented by delightful secondary bedrooms and a whimsical finished attic retreat that is just perfect for a whimsical playroom, office, or guest room. Enjoy the charming dormer windows, playful rooflines and storied "puppet show" closet with a cut out theatre that has enchanted multigenerations of delighted children. Don't miss the additional storage in the basement and detached garden shed. Perfectly situated on picturesque, one-block-long Patterson Street"”evoking Norman Rockwell charm"”this tranquil setting is just moments from everything Falls Church City has to offer. Enjoy easy access to shops, restaurants, parks, theaters, and the W&OD Trail, all within "The Little City," and only 1.1 miles to the West Falls Church Metro. A truly special offering where history, character, and lifestyle come together beautifully.
