1663 Summitridge Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

Recently completed by renowned design firm, Colab House, this architectural masterpiece sits atop a ridge in Beverly Hills, offering commanding views of the city on one side and the serene canyon on the other. Inspired by the imaginative Upper House Hotel in Hong Kong, this sexy and sophisticated property is only minutes from the Beverly Hills Hotel and yet feels as if its floating above the clouds. Situated securely behind gates and massive hedges, this is the perfect antidote for those seeking privacy and calm. As you enter the gates and drive into the motor court, you are immediately struck by the distinct facade of the house, which was handcrafted of thermalized oak. Thermalized oak transitions to natural white oak, as you enter the front door, where you are greeted by a spacious living room, boasting 20-foot-high ceilings. The interiors are the result of a masterclass in millwork, with walls and ceilings clad in white oak, interrupted only by walls of glass and illuminated by lighting thoughtfully curated for each space. The first level of the home is designed to satisfy the need for both public and private living, as common spaces flow together, while connecting seamlessly to the outside, through Fleetwood doors that disappear into the walls when opened. The southeast wing is comprised of a gourmet kitchen, outfitted with Sub-Zero and Gaggenau appliances; an adjoining family room with a fireplace that opens to a massive outdoor entertaining area; a guest bedroom suite; and a two-car garage. The northwest wing offers a dining room; a bar; a second guest bedroom suite; a powder room; and a separate sitting room/den. The second level offers a third guest bedroom suite; an office; and a sizable, fully-equipped home gym, featuring a separate shower and steam room. Completing the upper level is a seductive primary bedroom suite, highlighted by a huge walk-in closet, a sitting room and a stunning primary bathroom featuring a steam shower, a free-standing tub and spectacular views of the hills. The backyard is both a retreat for entertaining and a sanctuary for peaceful contemplation and is comprised of an outdoor dining area; a large grassy lawn; a sunken fire pit/lounge; and an infinity-edge pool with a zero-edge hot tub; all with captivating west-facing views. Sunsets are majestic from every angle. Other highlights of the home include a Savant home automation system.
