What is an example of a Hilbert Space that is not any subset of ${\mathbb R}^n$, $\mathbb{C}^n$ or $L^2$ (n-dimensional reals, n-dimensional complex numbers, or Lebesgue integrable functions)?

I'm looking for an example that is different from the usual spaces we learn about.

Maybe a Hilbert space with a non-countable basis: for example, given a non-countable set $\Gamma$, take $$\ell_2(\Gamma) =\{x:\Gamma\to{\mathbb C}\text{ or }{\mathbb R}:\, \sum_{\gamma\in\Gamma}|x(\gamma)|^2<\infty\},$$ where $\sum_{\gamma\in\Gamma}$ is defined as the supremum over all possible finite sums.

Recall that any two Hilbert spaces are isomorphic iff its basis have the same cardinality.

Sobolev Spaces

One of simplest ones the set of real valued differentiable functions on [0,1] where the norm $||x||_2 + ||x’||_2$ is finite.
