Sophisticated, sleek, and trendy, this modern two-story farmhouse-style home of NBA star Ben Simmons was completely rebuilt in 2021. It sits on 1.4 acres surrounded by abundant mature landscaping. Located at 24350 Bridle Trail Road at the end of a cul-de-sac inside the guard-gated city of Hidden Hills, the secluded retreat was designed and built by the esteemed Nobel design firm on a lushly manicured parcel dotted with olive trees.
The seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom, 12,000-square-foot home is decidedly distinct, with a striking exterior hewn from vertical reclaimed wood siding and charcoal-hued brick. Kate Newton in our Beverly Hills office is listing agent for the property, priced at $21,500,000.
An expansive driveway and motor court front the house, which boasts a canopy-topped front door that pivots into a foyer. Spacious rooms are punctuated throughout with marble and hardwood floors, oak paneling, exposed steel-beam ceilings, designer lighting, and walls of glass.
The grand formal dining and living areas are divided by a monumental brass element atop the floating fireplace. Double-vaulted ceilings along with Pietra gray marble and wood paneling bring a warm and luxurious design throughout the home’s 12,000 square feet of dark-toned living space.
On one side of the fireplace is a living room offering a huge picture window and automated Fleetwood glass doors that open to a patio; the other side hosts a dining room chicly outfitted with a duo of custom metal chandeliers that reportedly cost more than $100,000 each, plus a temperature-controlled wine wall and tucked-away catering kitchen with commercial-grade appliances.
Other main-level highlights can be found down a lengthy windowed hallway. Among them: a candy dispenser-equipped screening room, along with a fireside family room providing built-in shelves for collectibles, an indoor “Zen garden,” and access to a backyard terrace sporting a lounge area and fireplace.
A sleekly designed kitchen comes complete with Miele appliances, glass burners and a pop-up vent integrated into the marble island, as well as a dining area; and just around the corner is a walk-in pantry and an office with a full bathroom.
A curving staircase heads upstairs, where a sky bridge leads to a plush master retreat adorned with a fireplace and designer showroom closet. Double-glass pocketing doors flow to a luxe bath with two chiseled marble block sinks, a soaking tub and steam shower. A graceful bridge connects the primary bedroom to the second-floor landing and bedrooms.
This estate has five additional guest rooms, a state-of-the-art theater, gym/recording studio/bonus space, separate chef’s kitchen, and an attached four-car garage.
The backyard delights with a 65-foot-long infinity-edge pool and spa with Baja shelf, fire pit, cabana, and alfresco dining area. The pièce de résistance is a glam guesthouse with a kitchenette, custom bed nestled alongside a marble fireplace, walk-in closet, and marble bath with drop-in sinks, a soaking tub and glass-encased shower – not to mention its own plunge pool and cabana. The guesthouse is built around an amazing old oak tree that is illuminated at night.
