A sublime modernist masterpiece set on one of the highest points in Beverly Hills, the William H. Levit House at 1705 Summitridge stands as a testament to the timeless brilliance of architect Richard Neutra. Designed in 1961, this elegant retreat captures the essence of California’s iconic breezy, sunny, open-plan architectural ideal. Represented by The Agency’s Jeff Kohl, this estate offering seclusion and easy Beverly Hills accessibility while providing a front-row seat to nature’s grandeur and the vibrant cityscape.
Spanning 2,639 square feet on a half-acre lot, 1705 Summitridge features four bedrooms and four Carrera marble-clad bathrooms, blending historical significance with contemporary luxury. Each of the two primary-sized bedrooms includes double sink baths, providing ample space and comfort.
Renovated in 2012 by Ronnie Sassoon with additional touches by Marmol Radziner, the home seamlessly combines Neutra’s mid-century modern aesthetics with contemporary enhancements. The sleek, minimalist kitchen and meticulously updated interiors ensure 1705 Summitridge is move-in ready, preserving the original architectural integrity while introducing of-the-moment conveniences.
Outside, find an exquisite cactus garden and serene pool, which offers a scenic, tranquil oasis above the city. Residents can enjoy the best of indoor-outdoor living— a hallmark of Neutra’s design philosophy— with expansive windows and open interior spaces that invite the surrounding natural beauty inside.
What truly sets this property apart is its unparalleled, far-reaching views. From the spectacular sunsets over the distant ocean to the San Gabriel mountains and the iconic downtown L.A. skyline, the vistas are nothing short of breathtaking.
This Neutra masterpiece not only exemplifies contemporary living but also serves as a sanctuary where historical architecture meets daily comforts, making it a one-of-a-kind, modern Beverly Hills retreat.
