'''10 Summer Hill Court''' is the house of the [[Landgraab family]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]''. It is an enormous and beautiful mansion and the most expensive lot in [[Sunset Valley]]. 
 
==House Description==
The front door leads into a very large foyer. This ornate, two-story entry way is lavishly decorated with marble columns and floor tiles, expensive chairs, some bookshelves and a chandelier. A glass door at the other end of the foyer leads to a large deck that also serves as a bridge over the impressive private pool.  The room on the left of the foyer is the large formal dining room, which is decorated with a traditional yellow wallpaper, wood floors, columns and a very expensive fireplace. The dining room leads directly to the large kitchen which features a breakfast area. 
 
<blockquote class="note">An elegant home on the most exclusive circle in town, this stately manor resounds with grandeur. Four fireplaces, a massive kitchen, formal and informal living areas, a large custom pool, two-car garage, and elegant neoclassical landscaping round out its elegant features.</blockquote>
To the right of the foyer is an office space with two desks, multiple bookshelves, chairs and a laptop. The heavy woods on the wall, floor and furniture gives a very "old-money" vibe. Directly off the office is the living room which boasts yet another fireplace, more columns, a chesboard and ornate furniture. 
 
With its square shape, decorative half-timbering, large rooms and multiple masonry chimneys, the house appears to be, at the very least, influenced by the brief Tudor-revival architectural period that took place around the world in early part of the 20th century. The house is relatively narrow; it is roughly 46 tiles long from the left end to right end, and roughly just 12 tiles long from front to back.
The first floor also has two identical full bathrooms; one is accessible through the dining room, while the other one requires you go through the home office.

The dining room leads directly to the large  kitchen which featureshas a center island, breakfast areatable, and pricey appliances. 
The second floor is home to a small private theatre, the very large master bedroom (with attached master bathroom), Malcolm's bedroom and a spare bedroom decorated in shades of blue, yellow, and white. A small, golden bathroom is just steps away from Malcolm's bedroom door. Fireplaces can be found upstairs in Malcolm's room and the master bathroom, but oddly not in the master bedroom.

==Mansion Grounds==
 
The lavish decorations do not stop at the interior, as the house exterior and is very pretty as well. A tall wall lines the front and sides of the yard and a large two-car garage sits in the left corner of the front yard. An enormous circular driveway allows Sims to drive right up to the front door. The backyard has the previously mentioned pool, decorative hedges and even a beautiful pond! Expensive trees line each side of the grounds, and bushes out front add curb appeal to the house. 
TheOne the second floor is home to  a small private theatre, and the veryfamily's largebedrooms'. masterMalcolm's bedroom (withis attachedyellow masterwith bathroom),a Malcolm'sdark bedroomgreen rug and ais sparesomewhat nautical themed. The guest bedroom is decorated in shades of blue, yellow, and white. A small, golden bathroom is just steps away from Malcolm's bedroom door. The master bedroom is decorated with ornate reds, greens, and golds, and has a spacious attached master bathroom. The most expensive painting in'' The Sims 3'' base game hangs in this bedroom across from Nancy and Geoffrey's four poster bed. Fireplaces can be found upstairson the second floor in Malcolm's room and the master bathroom, but oddlycuriously not in the master bedroom. 
 
Outside, a long, brick wall lines the property and is built into the two-car garage that sits on the left of the lot. There is a small pond in the backyard that can be used for fishing. The main deck space at the back of house extends over a private family pool that sims can swim directly underneath. There are four small balconies protruding from the back of the house; two are accessible from the hallway on the second floor, and the other two are off of Nancy's and Geoffrey's bedroom.
 
==Trivia==
* The house is the largest home in Sunset Valley, and one of the largest in ''The Sims 3''. 
* Because the house is so large, luxurious, and beautiful, many players will kick the Landgraabs out of it and move their own families in.
* Unlike most of the houses from wealthy, long-generation sims, the Landgraab house lacks a graveyard.
* The house has a bizarre attic space with the far left and right sides open to the elements.
* 10 Summer Hill Court is often remodeled by players.
** There is more than enough room on the second floor to add a staircase to access this area and turn it into usable space.
* Often going unnoticed is the floating chandelier in the foyer. Looking at the light fixture with the cinematic camera turned on shows that it is in fact not connected to any sort of ceiling. This has no effect on the usability of the house, however.
** This error can be remedied by the fact that there were no two-story light fixtures when ''The Sims 3'' launched in 2009, yet a hanging light source was still needed as to not have the space appear too dark.
* Given the fact that Sunset Valley was "built up by the Landgraabs," the building is likely one of the oldest homes in town.
* Because the house is so large, luxurious, and beautiful, many players will kickevict the Landgraabs out of it and move their own families in instead.
