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. Recently reimagined through a $2 million architectural and interior transformation by Elizabeth Stanley Design, this 8,200+ square foot estate is a masterclass in bold, organic contemporary style. The result is a rare blend of vision, warmth, and total privacy—crafted for those who value timeless luxury at scale. Every inch has been elevated: steel-framed doors and windows throughout, unlacquered brass fixtures, reclaimed white oak cabinetry, and polished Taj Mahal marble. The main living room is expansive yet grounded, centered by a marble-tiled fireplace and surrounded by custom built-ins and natural light. A formal dining room offers an intimate space to gather, while the private study stuns with a terrazzo fireplace and full bar—one of the most memorable architectural moments in the home. The kitchen is streamlined and sophisticated, with integrated appliances, Taj Mahal quartzite counters, and a full butler’s pantry tucked behind—complete with a second oven, wine fridge, and built-in coffee station. The owner’s suite is a retreat unto itself. Anchored by a fireplace and steel doors that open to the backyard, it features two oversized closets and a spa-style bath designed with clarity and calm in mind. With seven bedrooms total, the home was designed with everyday function in mind. Two full laundry rooms—one on each level—ensure ease and efficiency for a household of this caliber. Upstairs, the thoughtful layout continues with a full guest apartment—including two bedrooms, a kitchen, and living space—plus a spacious media room, and an expansive game/living room that opens to its own terrace with sweeping views of the downtown skyline. Additional bedrooms each offer their own personality and palette; one features a bay window with custom built-ins and a postcard-worthy view. For collectors, five garage bays with epoxy floors accommodate up to twelve vehicles—one of which is climate-controlled and currently houses a full golf simulator. An elevator connects both levels of the home for effortless access. Step outside to a private resort experience: a cascading waterfall flows into the pool, flanked by covered terraces, an outdoor dining area, and a sport court—all framed by flat lawn and panoramic Hill Country views. Just minutes from downtown yet completely removed, The Summit House is a design-forward sanctuary that delivers on scale, serenity, and elevated living.
