Once a celebrated favorite on garden tours by the Preservation Village Improvement Society and the Victorian Society of Falls Church, this timeless residence offers a rare opportunity to own a historic home with an honorary city plaque and 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 Colonial Revival architecture, crowned by a hipped roof and defined by its extraordinarily spacious 1,000 sq ft wraparound porch, gracefully supported by Doric-style columns. Rich in character, the 4 bedroom, 2 bath home retains many original features, including a metal 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. Inside, approximately 3,550 square feet of living space unfolds with a welcoming foyer, grand staircase, high ceilings, oversized windows, elegant period trim, and charming blown glass details. The main level also offers a gracious dining room, full bath, laundry room, and a convenient mudroom with handy access to the side porch and carport. The library can also serve as a guest space or optional bedroom for potential main level living. Upstairs, the generous primary bedroom includes an adjoining den or dressing room, complemented by delightful secondary bedrooms and a lofty finished attic retreat that is just perfect for a whimsical playroom, office, or an additional guest room. Enjoy the charming dormer windows, playful rooflines and storied “puppet show” closet with a cut out theatre that has enchanted previous generations of delighted children. Don’t miss the additional storage under the stairs, in the basement and in the 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 one mile to the West Falls Church Metro.
