The Colonial-style estate at 3059 Cedarwood Ln. in Falls Church has been owned by one family for nearly 80 years. Inspired by the current owner’s visits to homes in Colonial Williamsburg, New England, and the English countryside, you’ll notice Colonial-inspired designs throughout the home and gardens.
Built in the 1930s, the estate underwent a major renovation in the late 1980s and has had additional updates and maintenance throughout the years. Currently listed at $1,575,000, this home sits on almost three-quarters of an acre and includes 3,303 square feet, three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and an attached, two-car garage.
Walk through the French doors to find the dining area. Your dinner guests will appreciate the double-sided gas fireplace with a marble-faced, custom-carved mantel in both the living and dining room. This space also includes handmade wooden carved features.
Step down from the dining area to the living room to take in the living room. Three French doors, which lead to the patio and garden, and two floor-to-ceiling windows line the walls, adding to the already bright and open layout.
The kitchen’s design is simple, yet classic , fitting into the home’s countryside influences. The cream-colored cabinets under and above the countertops provide ample storage space for all your cooking gadgets. The marble floors provide a stark contrast to the light design. Appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Whirlpool dishwasher, and GE microwave.
Find a pop of color and handmade, wooden carved features when you visit the den. Natural light floods the space with the help of three skylights. When you are not enjoying the garden, the fireplace with the marble face will be your next draw.
The primary bedroom has optimal views of the property’s beautiful landscaping, a perfect view for when you wake up every morning.
Relaxation is key in the primary bathroom with its soaking/hot tub and walk-in steam room in the shower.
This laundry room will definitely increase your motivation to get the last load of clothes washed and folded. The patterned wallpaper, bright yellow cabinets, and overhead natural light create a bright and inviting space.
If you think this garden looks like it could be on the cover of a magazine, you wouldn’t be wrong. This colonial-inspired garden was on the front and back cover of Reader’s Digest Gardens in 1994 and 1995. With a slate patio, whimsical garden statues, and a relaxing waterfall feature, it’ll be easy to remove yourself from the hustle and bustle of daily life in this serene space.
Follow the pebbled path throughout the backyard to really take in the masterfully crafted garden. Some of the plants and trees in the backyard include conifers, topiary boxwoods, azaleas, hemlocks, American and Japanese hollies, mature Hinoki cypress, and Japanese umbrella pine. An irrigation system was installed to help keep the garden in peak condition.
