The house was built in 1859 as the residence of Judge Edward M. Spilman and his family, who later sold the house to James Keith, who went on to become the president of the Virginia Court of Appeals. Mosby purchased the property from the Keiths in 1875. In 1877, the property was sold to Congressman Eppa Hunton, who lived there with his wife and son, Eppa Jr. for most of the following 25 years. Brentmoor was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The house briefly served as the location for the John Singleton Mosby Museum and Education Center, founded by Patricia B. Fitch in 2001. In 2018, the town sold the property back into private ownership. As of 2019, it is under renovations to become a family home.
