About The Summit in Brecksville
The Summit is a private enclave of six custom-built luxury estates in Brecksville, Ohio. Homes are nestled around the cul-de-sac street of Summit Circle with 1+ acre lots offering wonderful woodland views and privacy. Homes were built by Gillespie Homes and Petros Homes from 1996-2008.
These homes offer 5,100-10,000 square feet with 3-5 bedrooms and 3.5-5.5 bathrooms.
The Summit homes are exquisitely appointed with quality craftsmanship and premium finishes throughout including open floorplans, dramatic two-story foyers with open staircases, hardwood flooring, limestone and marble tile flooring, custom ceilings, two-story/vaulted great rooms with fireplaces and floor-to-ceiling windows, butler’s pantry, formal dining rooms and living rooms, private dens with built-ins, large laundry rooms with utility tubs. Granite or quartz kitchens feature an oversized island, tile backsplash, breakfast bar seating, walk-in pantry, top-of-the-line appliances, dinette area, and morning/hearth room. First or second-floor owner’s suites include a sitting area, fireplace, walk-in closets, and spa-like baths with custom tiled walk-in showers, soaking tubs, dual vanities, and enclosed lavatories. Finished lower levels (some are coveted walk-outs!) are complete with media rooms, kitchens/kitchenettes, bars, wine cellars, and exercise rooms. Side-entry garages accommodate 2-4 cars.
Outdoor oases include professional landscaping with paver retention walls, water features, firepits/fireplaces, verandas, and custom patios and/or decks.
Oversized homesites range from 1.02 to 2.04 acres and each is heavily wooded and private for your own serene park-like setting.
The land surrounding this development is also heavily wooded. Directly north of this development is a roughly 10-acre parcel of forested common land owned by the neighboring community of Chippewa Hills. The land bordering The Summit to the west and northwest is a forested area behind the High School football field.
Chippewa Creek runs just beyond the southwest end of the development. However, the community is on an upslope so flooding is extremely unlikely. See FEMA Flood Map.
Summit Circle is off the north side of Old Royalton Rd, 0.2 miles east of Harris Rd. To the right of the entrance is a stacked stone and masonry sign. Each side of the street has large landscape beds with mature broadleafs and evergreens, which continue up the hill to the cul-de-sac, obscuring the community from the main road.
Several homes have landscaping and brick retention walls that extend to the cul-de-sac, making for a gorgeous entry.
Summit Circle has curbs but no sidewalks.
Homeowner’s Association (HOA fees) are approximately $119 monthly.
This neighborhood is serviced by the Brecksville–Broadview Heights City School District, which is consistently rated as one of the best school districts in the state.
