About 2090 Painter Ct
Perched near the top of Bull Run Mountain, with views that reach toward Washington, D.C., 2090 Painter Court is the kind of home you picture when you dream of mountain living. Nearly 1,000 feet above sea level and surrounded by trees, this home is striking inside and out, with soaring ceilings, walls of windows, skylights and incredible natural light that make the outdoors feel like part of the home.
The main living space is truly stunning. Sunlight pours through dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, framing the trees and distant views, while the fireplace creates a warm focal point for colder months. Imagine watching fresh snow fall from the warmth of the living room, enjoying morning coffee as the mountain wakes up, or gathering around the dining table with friends while the view stretches out beyond the glass. The modern kitchen opens naturally to the living and dining spaces, creating a home that feels equally suited to quiet weekends and entertaining.
Throughout the home, thoughtful updates complement the architecture rather than compete with it. The bathrooms have been beautifully updated with clean, contemporary finishes, while skylights bring even more natural light into the spaces. Step outside to the spacious deck and you’re surrounded by trees, privacy and the unmistakable feeling of being away from it all.
Set on just under two acres, the property offers plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, including a fenced section of the yard, while still preserving the wooded, private setting that makes mountain living so special. And despite the feeling of being tucked away, everyday conveniences aren’t far. Gas, groceries and Walmart are approximately 15 minutes down the mountain, Virginia Gateway is about 18 minutes away for additional shopping and dining, and Dulles Airport is approximately 40 minutes away.
The setting and lack of an HOA also make this property an exciting opportunity for a short-term rental or Airbnb. With its elevated location, expansive views, privacy, spacious lot and proximity to Northern Virginia, it has the ingredients for a memorable mountain getaway while still remaining within easy reach of Washington, D.C. and the surrounding area.
There’s no HOA here, but that doesn’t mean there’s no community. The Bull Run Mountain Civic Association hosts events throughout the year and offers a clubhouse for those who want to connect, while Painter Court itself has the feel of its own small community within the mountain. Neighbors know one another and look out for one another, offering a sense of connection that’s hard to find in a typical subdivision. Prefer privacy? Close the door, settle in by the fire and enjoy your own mountain retreat.
With its elevated setting, dramatic architecture, walls of glass, abundant natural light, nearly two acres and extraordinary views, this isn’t simply a home with a view. It’s the mountain home you hoped existed this close to everything.
Recent updates include a brand-new $40K private well, drilled with double casing to 503 feet deep in May 2026. Most homes on the mountain tap into the community well and receive a monthly water bill, making this property’s private well an important distinction. Additional updates include Trane HVAC (July 2011); water heater (2011); window gutter guards (October 2010); roof (July 2016); patio door (July 2012); refrigerator (June 2024); microwave (2024); and dishwasher (2017).
