1140 Summit Drive

Rising above the city like a goddess in the sky, this modern estate commands sweeping city and skyline views while remaining firmly rooted in Beverly Hills proper. Elevated without isolation and impressive without excess, it offers a rare balance of prestige, privacy, and true family livability designed to resonate with the world's most discerning buyers while functioning beautifully as a primary residence. Designed by acclaimed architect Thomas Schoos, the home reflects architectural discipline, proportion, and permanence. Arrival is defined by a gated half-moon driveway that allows guests to gracefully circle the residence, while also providing immediate, direct access into an expansive subterranean garage accommodating eight or more vehicles ideal for everyday convenience and for those who value meaningful garage space without sacrificing elegance at the front of the home. The estate is anchored by a full concrete and steel foundation with engineered lumber and structural steel framing, delivering exceptional seismic integrity and long-term durability. Fire-treated materials, high-density insulation, Starfire low-iron glass, a TPO roof with integrated Tesla solar, custom Arcadia metal windows and doors, Mitsubishi VRF zoned climate control, a comprehensive Crestron automation system, and a rare commercial-grade high-speed elevator underscore the home's commitment to performance, comfort, and longevity. Inside, the residence unfolds as a seamless blend of architectural statement and everyday function. A dramatic 35-foot architectural concrete wall and sculptural floating staircase anchor the interiors, while the main living level opens entirely through a commanding 50-foot motorized sliding glass wall, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The chef's kitchen features custom Italian Snaidero cabinetry, a full Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Cove appliance suite, and a concealed catering kitchen designed for refined entertaining without disruption. The lower level offers a complete lifestyle environment, including a naturally lit subterranean garage, private screening room, entertainment and game lounge, multiple bars, wine room, guest or staff accommodations, and a fully equipped indoor-outdoor gym. The primary suite serves as a calm retreat with expansive Italian porcelain finishes, a spa-caliber steam shower, refined fixtures, and a private morning bar, while secondary bedrooms and baths are equally well-appointed with designer stone, premium fittings, and intelligent Kohler systems. Outdoors, the estate becomes a true family compound, featuring lush green lawns, a private sport court, and a multi-hole putting green creating rare, usable outdoor space for children, teens, and adults alike. A 55-foot quartz-finished infinity-edge pool and spa, expansive terraces with integrated heating and sound, and unobstructed city views complete the experience. Set moments from the Beverly Hills Hotel and a short drive to the boutiques, dining, and cultural heart of Rodeo Drive, this architecturally significant estate delivers a globally relevant standard of modern living prestigious yet welcoming, powerful yet livable, and designed for both today and legacy.
