Property Description

Set along one of Spring Valley’s most established streets, 3615 49th Street is a 1935 English Tudor extensively reimagined in 2012 by McLean-based Morris-Day Designers and Builders under architect Rob Morris.

Set within nearly half an acre, the surrounding landscape gives the home a notable sense of privacy within the city. Inside, the foyer opens to a series of formal rooms shaped by rich millwork, stained glass, exposed beams, and balanced proportions. The living room and library share a double-sided wood-burning fireplace, creating two connected gathering spaces, while French doors from the library open directly to the rear gardens and stone patio.Throughout the main level, paneled walls, bespoke woodwork, and textured materials create warmth and architectural depth. A recurring rose motif within the custom interior glasswork lends a subtle signature to the home.
