Tucked behind the gates of Somerset in West Lake Hills, The Summit House sits elevated—both in position and in design. With sweeping 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 by Elizabeth Stanley Design, this bold, organic contemporary estate spans over 8,200 square feet and delivers a rare blend of architectural vision, natural materials, and total privacy.

Inside, the finishes speak for themselves—steel-framed doors and windows throughout, unlacquered brass fixtures, raw white oak cabinetry, and polished Taj Mahal marble. The home is clean and confident, yet quietly unassuming—crafted for those who value subtle luxury and timeless design.

The main living room is expansive yet grounded, centered around a marble-tiled fireplace flanked by custom built-ins and surrounded by natural light. Nearby, a formal dining room offers an intimate space for entertaining, while the private study stuns with a terrazzo fireplace and its own bar—one of the most striking moments in the home.

The kitchen is streamlined and elevated, with reclaimed white oak cabinetry, Taj Mahal quartzite counters, and fully integrated appliances. A full butler’s pantry sits just behind, complete with a second oven, wine fridge, and built-in coffee station.

The primary suite is a true retreat. Anchored by a fireplace and framed by steel doors that open to the backyard, it includes two oversized closets and a spa-style bath designed with clarity and calm in mind.

Step outside to a private resort experience. A waterfall cascades into the pool, surrounded by multiple covered terraces, a full outdoor dining setup, and a sport court—all framed by flat lawn and panoramic views. It’s peaceful and powerful—a true extension of the home.

For the collector, five garage doors open to epoxy-floored bays with room for at least twelve vehicles. One bay is climate-controlled and currently houses a full golf simulator. It’s unlike anything you’ve seen.

Upstairs, the thoughtful layout continues with a full guest apartment—complete with two bedrooms, a kitchen, and living space—plus game and media rooms, and additional bedrooms, each with its own personality and finish palette. One suite includes a bay window with custom built-ins and skyline views framed like art. A covered terrace on this level is perfectly positioned for Austin’s best sunsets.

The Summit House is a design-forward sanctuary at the intersection of privacy, scale, and style. Minutes from downtown, but truly above it all.
