A few more shots of this awesome pool👙🌴✨☀️💦

We’re thrilled to share that this stunning Delray Beach property — where we had the pleasure of remodeling the pool — just sold for the highest price in Delray Beach!

Tech founder Eugene Nonko has paid $51.12 million for an oceanfront home in Delray Beach, Fla., the highest recorded home sale in the city.⁠ ⁠ Eugene, co-founder of the software company MediaAlpha, and his wife, Olga Nonko, bought the home from eye-care mogul Massimo Musa, property records show. Musa had taken the home on and off the market for several years, initially listing it for $59.995 million in 2021, according to Zillow.⁠ ⁠ The Nonkos declined to comment. Musa didn’t respond to a request for comment.⁠ ⁠ Musa and his ex-wife, Karrie Wyko, paid around $9 million for the Delray Beach land in 2002 and spent around five years building the home, he previously told The Wall Street Journal. They moved onto the estate in 2008.⁠ ⁠ The property has a nine-bedroom, roughly 22,000-square-foot main house as well as a guesthouse. The estate’s amenities also include a gym, a roughly 1,000-bottle wine cellar and two movie theaters—a formal one for guests and another for Musa’s children.⁠ ⁠ Read more about the deal via the link in @wsjrealestate's bio.⁠ ⁠ 📸: ED BUTERA/IBI DESIGNS

Swimming isn’t just good for your body, it actively changes your brain. 

Studies show it increases neurogenesis in the hippocampus, the brain’s memory center, and raises levels of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), which supports learning and stress resilience. 
 The rhythmic nature of swimming, controlled breathing and full-body movement, stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, calming the body’s stress response. 

It also helps regulate circadian rhythms, leading to deeper, more restorative sleep. 
 Just 20–30 minutes of swimming a few times a week has been linked to improved attention, lower anxiety and better emotional control.  It’s one of the few forms of movement that combines physical exertion with nervous system recovery making it a powerful tool for mental clarity, mood stability, and cognitive health.
