The wonderful indoor-outdoor interplay that South Floridians enjoy year-round is on full display at 7170 Ayrshire Lane in Boca Raton.

Routinely ranked among the nation’s finest, St. Andrews Country Club offers more than 700 custom-built estate homes, 70 acres of lakes, and 720 acres of tropical foliage, along with the rolling fairways of two 18-hole championship golf courses. As if that wasn’t enough, it also boasts 125,000 square feet of amenities, including 15 tennis courts, aquatic and fitness centers, and four dining venues. 

It’s no wonder that when the best homes at the club come up for sale, buyers tend to pounce. 

Blending space age futurism with effortless, pastel-toned warmth, the architectural gem at 7170 Ayrshire Lane overlooks the fairways of the club’s Arnold Palmer Signature Design golf course. If true luxury is all about volume, this five-bedroom, seven-bath estate has it to spare, with 11,568 square feet of open-plan living spaces, a grand entryway with soaring ceilings and a columned portico, a two-story great room, and 12-foot-high sliding glass doors that flood the interior rooms with bright natural light. 

Known as “Le Sumi” and previously featured in Architectural Digest, the 2020 two-story contemporary was designed by starchitect Randall Stofft, who practiced at the renowned Skidmore, Owings & Merrill firm before launching his own South Florida practice in 1985. 

The home features the expected clean modern lines along with softening curves and textures to keep it all warm and inviting. Other clever and luxurious architectural details include a circular marble driveway, a modern staircase as well as an elevator, a stylish backyard with lemon and lime trees and artificial grass, and a one-of-a-kind glass barn door that separates the two ground-floor offices. 

Along with the offices and the great room, other first-floor spaces include a large dining area, a media room, an open kitchen that flows into the family room, and a palatial bedroom suite with dual bathrooms and showroom-worthy closets/dressing rooms. There are three more en-suite bedrooms upstairs along with an open seating area and verandas encased in glass and steel.

Flow from the home’s stylish interior to its marvelous exterior is downright seamless. You’ll find indoor and outdoor cabanas, and sliding glass doors seemingly everywhere that open to covered patio areas and the custom semicircular pool (with changing colored lights, just for fun). Simply put, the property’s own amenities are so all-inclusive that you don’t even need that great clubhouse, though it’s certainly nice to have nearby.
