Situated between crowded suburban Northern Virginia and the rolling meadows and pastoral estates of horse country, this restored chalet on Bull Run Mountain delivers the perfect mix of privacy and community. Huge picture windows fill the vaulted main living area with natural light and showcase the surrounding nature in all its seasonal glory. Big sliding glass doors provide additional views and lead to an upper rear deck that towers above the large back yard, lush woods and babbling creek that decorate the property. A fireplace with recently renovated liner, flue and caps features a custom live-edge walnut mantel from a tree on the property. Shaker-style cabinets, butcher block counters and custom shelving offer plenty of storage and workspace in the slate-tiled kitchen, which has a farm-style sink and tiled backsplash. A breakfast bar pass-through lends to the open feel. The main floor master suite has his-and-hers closets and a recently renovated bathroom with a frameless glass and tiled shower, and handmade Mexican Saltillo tile floors. Custom made walnut handrails with cast iron balusters guide you up oak stairs to two additional bedrooms with cork flooring, a Jack-and-Jill full bathroom and a bonus loft space overlooking the main living area. The finished basement features recreation and office space with reclaimed barn wood accents and cork flooring. The pallet wood wall and galvanized metal wainscoting continue into a half bathroom lined with Saltillo tile. In the utility area, both the HVAC/heat pump system and hot water heater were recently replaced. A workshop area opens to a rear ground level deck. A board and batten shed made from oak trees felled on the property provides ample storage and matches the style of the main house’s siding, which was made from poplar milled in Culpeper. Stone from a quarry on the backside of the mountain, decorative cross beams, a custom-designed front deck and side steps to the backyard made from huge stones sourced from the woods and creek area add to the home’s lodge-like exterior. This is an ideal house for anyone who treasures nature, views, peaceful living (no HOA!) and friendly neighbors, but also easy access to recreational areas and shopping centers, as well as both I-66 and Rte. 50. As we say up here, “Life is good on the mountain!”
