PORT ST. LUCIE HOMES

For 10 years, Craig Dunkelberger drove up
and down Reserve Boulevard to and from
his engineering office, thinking that one
day he might build a home in the exclusive
Port St. Lucie Magazine 23
PGA Village golf community.
As he grew his business, Dunkelberger bought a
1.6-acre lot, waiting until 2008 to build his unique
southern ranch style home — the only one of its
kind in a neighborhood known for Mediterraneanstyle
estates.
“Every day I drove to work through PGA and I
loved it and dreamed of building a house here,”
says Dunkelberger. Living in West Palm Beach
at the time and commuting to Reserve Industrial
Park, the geotechnical engineer says he fell in love
with the beautifully landscaped main drive that
bisects PGA Village from east to west.
Dunkelberger and his wife, Robyn, moved to
Port St. Lucie and lived there for about 10 years
before they built the home with its compartmentalized
layout, designed for their family. “We didn’t
have the money then, but we were able to realize
our dream,” says Robyn Dunkelberger. >>
