In honor of “The Big Game,” that ultimate bowl, that Supreme Bowl, Luxury Defined presents the next best thing to being there: four properties with deluxe home theaters to watch the epic showdown.
Our starting lineup includes a classic Art Deco-style cinema, a sophisticated media lounge, and a contemporary screening room—all custom-crafted and acoustically tuned, with the latest in high-definition, digital displays and immersive, surround-sound technology.
This striking new construction on the highly sought-after Stradella Road offers a jaw-dropping view of the Stone Canyon Reservoir and the Santa Monica Mountains. The steel and concrete, 9,456-square-foot, multi-level home was built to maximize its dramatic, one-acre hillside setting in the heights of Bel-Air. The views are on grand display throughout the open-concept main level. The showpiece is the palatial living room, with its statement marble fireplace. The formal dining room, family lounge, chef’s kitchen (and adjoining butler’s kitchen), and a guest suite complete this floor. An elevator connects all levels: Upstairs, four en suite bedrooms include a primary suite worthy of a five-star hotel, with a fireplace, two oversized dressing rooms and bathrooms, and a wraparound terrace. Two more guest bedrooms are on the lower level: dedicated to entertaining, Hollywood style, with a pro-grade screening room, a lounge and bar, temperature-controlled wine wall, and a fitness studio. Floor-to-ceiling pocket doors open to the outdoor kitchen, lawned gardens, and an infinity-edge lap pool and spa overlooking the reservoir.
This three-acre estate home in the city of Naperville, Illinois, exemplifies luxury living in the Midwest, within 40 minutes’ drive of downtown Chicago. The main house, a grand, château-inspired stone manor, with 21,361 square feet of living space, was crafted with the finest attention to detail. An elevator connecting all floors has backlit onyx flooring. Other custom-made details include a skylight that changes color in the sunlight. The reception rooms are scaled for gatherings great or small, catered by an enormous chef’s kitchen with a hidden pantry, prep kitchen, and separate workspace. There are ample, private accommodations, with seven en suite bedrooms, eleven full and two half-bathrooms. A duplex apartment offers self-contained accommodations for guests and extended family. But it’s the lifestyle amenities that really stand out. The movie theater has a Steinway sound system, a constellation ceiling, and plush seating for an immersive experience. There’s a games room with a built-in ATM and a workout studio with a sauna, hot tub, and separate cold plunge. A whole lineup of amenities awaits outdoors, too, with a putting green, soccer field, in-ground trampoline, basketball/sport court, a swimming pool with hoops, and a basking deck with fire features for nighttime entertaining.
Wrapped in greenery, this classic Mediterranean-style estate home offers boutique resort-style living on an acre of grounds in Pelican Bay, an exclusive, master-planned golf community in North Naples, Florida. The residence is designed around a dramatic central courtyard with a magnificent 25-by-50-foot pool and elevated spa as the centerpiece. Surrounding are both covered and open-air lounging and dining spaces, an outdoor fireplace, a fire pit, a bocce court, and a pool table. Inside, there are six bedrooms, four en suite, two with a shared bath, and two half baths. There are casual and formal living rooms, and a grand dining room served by a butler’s pantry. A separate wine and cocktail bar room, a wood-paneled office/study, and a dedicated theater complete the amenities. A separate guest cabana has a kitchenette and a breakfast space overlooking the pool. Two first-floor laundry spaces and an oversized four-car garage add everyday convenience. One of only 13 homes in the community, its gates manned 24/7, the property backs onto the Pelican Bay golf course, and is just moments from the resort’s private beach access.
Hidden steel beams, tall glass, and warm wood accents highlight the vast, interior volumes of this 2023-built contemporary on an .89 acre plot on the south slope of Camelback Mountain in Phoenix, Arizona. Inside are 6,982 square feet of living space, designed with a soothing, cool-neutral sage gray palette, warmed by wood floors and paneled walls. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors window frame the distant cityscape and open seamlessly to the terrace and its 50-foot, walk-in swimming pool and built-in spa. The open-plan great room is bisected by a dual-sided electronic hearth, dividing the formal dining space, media lounge, and kitchen, outfitted with floating Burdette cabinetry, Wolf and SubZero appliances, and a 12-foot island breakfast bar. The primary suite has walnut hardwood flooring, automated window shades, an electric fireplace, built-in speakers, a 65″ drop-down TV, and two walk-in closets. The primary bathroom has a multi-head walk-in shower, freestanding tub, and a TOTO Washlet. In addition to the pool and spa, the outdoor amenities include a custom putting green, a Wolf barbecue island with a Sub-Zero beverage fridge, and a media screen. A walkway links the main house to a spacious, detached artist’s studio. The four-car garage has 11-foot ceilings, epoxy floors, and electric car charging. The Control4 smart home system provides seamless automation throughout. The property, which is minutes from downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale, has easy access to Sky Harbor International Airport.
