A Portrait of Calm: Inside the Schaefer Residence by Darling Construction

At Darling Construction, we believe that luxury lies in the details—those seemingly small, thoughtful touches that work together to create something extraordinary. The Schaefer residence on John’s Island is a prime example. Recently featured in a stunning article by Vero Beach Magazine (March 2025 issue), this new construction project is a collaboration that celebrates calm, character, and craftsmanship.

The moment you step into the Schaefer home, you're enveloped in a quiet elegance that feels at once peaceful and inspired. But, like a Chuck Close portrait, the magic is in the details. Look closely, and you’ll find a symphony of textures, finishes, and refined nuances that tell a deeper story.

Coastal charm and timeless craftsmanship come together in this family vacation home, recently featured in a top luxury home magazine.

When a Boston-based couple discovered a 1970s ranch home in the private community of John’s Island, located on the barrier island in Vero Beach, Florida, that shared the same name and street number as their favorite Jamaican cottage, it felt like fate.

Partnering with longtime friend and designer Anthony Catalfano, the homeowners brought us in to reimagine the space from the ground up, trusting our team to carry the renovation through every phase of the journey.

As builders, we approached the project in three distinct phases: the interior renovation, followed by the pool and lanai redesign, and lastly, the addition of a two-bedroom cabana. The original structure had low ceilings, small doors, and outdated finishes, so we began by opening up the layout, raising ceilings, and creating better flow between living spaces. It was important to preserve the home’s Old Florida charm
