Tucked behind the gates of Somerset in West Lake Hills, The Summit House sits elevated--both in position and in design. With panoramic views of the Austin skyline, the twinkle of city lights becomes part of the home's ambiance, casting a glow that shifts with the light of day.
Reimagined through a $2 million transformation by Elizabeth Stanley Design, this 8,200+ square foot estate is a bold expression of organic contemporary architecture. Steel-framed doors and windows, unlacquered brass fixtures, reclaimed white oak cabinetry, and polished Taj Mahal marble create a warm, grounded luxury throughout.
The main living room centers on a marble-tiled fireplace and opens to custom built-ins and natural light. The kitchen features integrated appliances, Taj Mahal quartzite counters, and a full butler's pantry with second oven, wine fridge, and built-in coffee station. The study stuns with terrazzo fireplace and full bar.
The owner's suite is a true retreat with fireplace, two oversized closets, and a spa-style bath. With seven bedrooms total, the home is designed for real life--featuring two full laundry rooms, one on each level, for everyday ease.
Upstairs offers a full guest apartment (2 beds + kitchen + living), a large media room, and an expansive game/living room with a terrace overlooking the downtown skyline.
Five garage bays accommodate up to 12 vehicles--one climate-controlled for a full golf simulator. An elevator connects both levels for effortless access.
Outside, a cascading waterfall flows into the pool, framed by covered terraces, an outdoor dining area, sport court, and flat lawn.
Minutes from downtown but completely removed, The Summit House is a private, design-forward sanctuary offering scale, serenity, and spectacular views.
