This is a somewhat unusual cultivar of Nootka Falsecypress, or Chamaecyparis Nootkatensis.

Apparently it is similar to but narrower than the cultivar called Pendula -- According to the Monrovia on line plant descriptions, the Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Pendula' (Xanthocyparis noot.) or weeping nootka cypres reaches 10 to 15 feet wide and about 45 feet tall.

To be honest I suspect you may have difficulty in locating this tree to purchase. You would also have to make sure you have enough space to accommodate an extremely tall tree in your front yard. If it doesn't sound like a good match for your situation, your local nursery may be able to suggest a substitute, possibly another Chamaecyparis such as Pendula which is more often seen or something else entirely.
