In Boca Raton, Florida’s ultra-private Sanctuary community, a Palm Beach-inspired estate transforms waterfront living into a full-scale resort experience through a dramatic outdoor environment centered around a sprawling heated saline pool and spa.

Massive French doors and towering sliders open from the grand salon, club room, kitchen, and family room directly onto the pool deck and loggia, allowing the home to function as a seamless indoor-outdoor environment. Even the detached guesthouse connects directly into the outdoor entertaining space through a private stairway and covered balcony overlooking the pool and preserve…
