My colleague Geri Deane's listing at 16081 Purcellville Road does something most homes on the market can't: it gives one family three distinct ways to live under a single deed. There's a complete in-law suite on the main level, a separate one-bedroom apartment above the detached garage, and a heated three-bay garage built for someone who actually works on cars. Add four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and approximately 4,081 square feet on roughly three board-fenced acres just outside Purcellville, and you have a property worth a close look. It's listed at $1,799,000, and I want to walk you through what makes it stand out.
A True Main-Level In-Law Suite
Start with the feature that defines this home. The main level holds a complete, self-contained in-law suite — its own kitchen finished in the same Thomasville cabinetry and granite as the main kitchen, a full bath, and a separate living area. A parent can cook their own meals, keep their own hours, and have real privacy, all on one accessible floor, and still be steps from the rest of the family.
The rest of the main floor backs up that promise. Single-level laundry, wide and accessible design throughout, and an elevator shaft already framed and ready for a future owner to finish. If you're caring for a parent now, or planning ahead for your own next chapter, this is the layout most people renovate for years to create — and here it's already built.
A One-Bedroom Apartment Over the Garage
Above the detached garage sits a finished one-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and a half bath. The furnishings convey with an accepted offer, so it's ready to use on day one.
A second, fully separate dwelling gives you options a single-structure home can't. Run it as a long-term rental to help offset the mortgage, give a returning college student or visiting family their own front door, set up a home office or studio, or house on-site help. Loudoun County sets the rules on what's permitted for rental use, so confirm any income plans with the county and your lender — but the framework for a flexible, income-friendly setup is already in place.
A Heated Three-Bay Garage With Dual Lifts
The detached garage is a genuine workshop, not just parking. Three bays, heating and cooling, dual hydraulic lifts, and room for approximately eight vehicles. Restore a project car, maintain a small collection, or just get a proper, climate-controlled space to turn wrenches year-round. Garages built to this standard rarely come already finished, and for the right buyer it may be the feature that closes the deal.
The Main House
The main residence delivers on the everyday. Rich hardwood floors run through the formal living and dining rooms, a dedicated home office, and a light-filled family room. The kitchen pairs Thomasville cabinetry and granite counters with GE Profile stainless appliances and a breakfast area set into bay windows. Ten-foot-plus ceilings and crown molding lend the main level real presence. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms each have an en-suite bath, and the primary suite adds a soaking tub and a walk-in closet.
The Grounds
The level backyard leaves room for a future pool or garden, the acreage is board-fenced, and zoning allows for chickens. A 16-by-24-foot "she shed," built to match the garage, works as a studio or workshop. The country essentials are all handled: Verizon Fios fiber internet, well water, and a conventional septic system.
The Location
You're minutes from Purcellville's Main Street shops and restaurants, close to the W&OD Trail, and surrounded by the wineries and breweries of western Loudoun's wine country. Woodgrove High School anchors the community, and the Blue Ridge sits on the horizon. It's the setting a lot of buyers spend years looking for.
