790 Hull Island Drive, Oakland, FL 34787 Favorite

Why You'll Love it

The New Castle model home, at 790 Hull Island Drive in the beautiful town of Oakland, features 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms (including 2 owner’s suites, one upstairs and one downstairs), a loft, and 3-car garage is a must-see. As you approach the home, you can’t miss the accents of “berry crush” red, black glass front door, shutters, and corbels, and classic red brick on the base of the front porch columns and sides of garage.

From the moment you enter, you’ll be wowed by the impressive 2-story foyer and dining room, which features double chandeliers and a custom espresso-stained built-in floating sideboard with backlit mirrored towers and toe-kick lighting that offers not only storage but also counter space for when you entertain formally. The open-concept kitchen features panoramic views of the nook and large family room and on to the coastal lanai (more on that later). The kitchen is a sure favorite with the raised panel linen cabinets that extend to the ceiling and are accented with crown molding, glass doors, LED under cabinet lighting, and cabinet hardware. The chef of the family will love the upgraded GE® stainless steel double wall ovens and gas cooktop. The maintenance-free quartz countertops drape the oversized island with a waterfall edge. With large white cast iron farmhouse sink and stylish pendant lights, it’s sure to be a favorite place for quick meal and food prep. A glossy fun-shaped high-contract backsplash is the statement of the room. A butler’s pantry, also with glass door to showcase your family china or latest collectibles, connects the kitchen to the formal dining room for easy access. Storage abounds, with a huge walk-in pantry, a large closet by the garage entrance, and an under the stairs closet. Neutral 12”x24” tile flows effortless through the main areas downstairs creating a modern feel.  

Enjoy access to the amazing extended covered lanai, spanning almost the full length of the home, from sliding glass doors at the nook or along the back wall of the family room. All that glass allows amazing natural light to shine in, offers unobstructed views to the backyard, and provides access to the relaxing pool. The size of this outdoor retreat allows for multiple different conversation areas, making this space perfect for your house-warming party or next family gathering. A downstairs owner’s suite, great for long visits from in-laws, adult children still at home, or even as a back-up plan for the real owners of the home when climbing stairs are no longer in the cards. Double doors lead to the well-appointed en-suite bath featuring double vanity with quartz countertops and huge mirror, separate soaking tub and shower with semi-frameless enclosure, and enclosure water closet. Alternating stripes of tile extended to the celling continue around the tub and shower creating a fun vibe. A large walk-in closet completes the room. A full bath with walk-in shower can be found just outside this room that will service the downstairs, as well as the pool, with a conveniently located door to the outside.

Wood stairs with chocolate stained handrail and painted spindles lead you to the second floor where you will find the loft area, perfect for game time or movie night. With its built-in cabinetry around the TV, fun wallpaper accent wall, and loads of natural light, this is a cozy and comfortable room you and your guests will want to spend some time in. Two bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, share a hall bath that offers double sinks and a linen closet, while the third bedroom has its own bath. Laundry day will be a little less daunting with the destination laundry room’s proximity to the bedrooms upstairs and its deep laundry tub, extra cabinets and deep drawers for storage, and open shelving for easy access items.

Wood floors continue from the loft and halls, through the double door entry, into the owner’s suite. Find a tray ceiling with custom trim detail, a huge walk-in closet, and oversized windows allowing for plenty of light. The owner’s bath is dreamy with an extra-long double vanity with quartz countertop and sitting area and a large shower with polished porcelain wall tile laid to the ceiling, a wall-mounted rain shower head with multiple sets for the full spa experience, and a semi-frameless enclosure. With access from only the owner’s suite, the showstopper here is the balcony, finished off with composite decking. Enjoy your morning coffee as you welcome the day with the birds, and unwind with a good book and an even better glass of wine from your oasis in the sky.
