California is home to some of the most incredible properties in the world. And we know you like to watch as much as we do, so each week we’re taking a peek inside famous homes and listings in our recurring feature—California Cribs.
This week, we’re taking a peek into the Estate on Somma!
Rising above the Hotel Bel Air, the Estate on Somma is a modern Spanish revival masterpiece—now with a lower asking price! At one time listed for $100 million, the trophy estate is now asking $59 million.
Previously known as UNICA, the hillside home has now been rebranded as the Somma Estate, boasting eight bedrooms, 21(!) bathrooms and some 41,000 square feet of living space. Upon entering, the grand scale and panoramic views will impress, as does the sweeping staircase.
Floor to ceiling glass pocket doors frame panoramic views and flood the open floor plan with light and warmth. A chef’s kitchen stuns with arched windows, high-end appliances, St. Laurent marble and a massive island.
The Estate features amenities that rival the finest resorts in the world including a 36-person theater, multiple kitchens, six bars, a professional basketball court, 1,200 bottle wine cellar with a wine tasting room and recording studio. There’s also an auto gallery, custom designed to showcase an entire car collection.
The luxurious wellness center houses a 75′ indoor pool, sauna, steam room, hair salon and fitness studio. Outdoors, park-like grounds feature multi-level terraces, an infinity edge pool/spa, weather-proof Samsung wall and a kitchen.
Shawn Elliott of Nest Seekers holds the listing alongside David Parnes of the Bond Collective at the Agency and Branden Williams of Williams & Williams.
