Easy, Lazy Bike-ride to Sandpoint

At last, a chance to live on the premier Idaho lake for under $500K! This immaculate, turn-key 3 bedroom 2 bathroom ranch style home is located on an inlet of Lake Pend Oreille near the Long Bridge Restaurant and The Lodge at Sandpoint. On nearly a full acre and very private, it's only 2 miles to Sandpoint. This home was custom-built, it is NOT a tract home! Through the entry is a large living room with a real wood-burning brick fireplace, water views, and access to the vast deck. There is a formal dining room with access to the deck, a spacious, beautifully lit kitchen and bar with solid maple butcher block counter and seating for 4, a pantry, a cable internet-ready computer work station, all featuring italian porcelain tile flooring. Adjacent to the kitchen and bar, through french doors, is a cedar paneled study/media room. The house is situated by the water on a wooded lot that is flanked by forested hills and mountains and a charming variety of trees that compose the view from all windows, neighboring houses are hidden.

Master Suite with Fireplace and Water Views

The master bedroom-suite has french doors to its own sitting room with a gas fireplace and water views and french doors to the deck. The master bathroom has a large jacuzzi tub and separate shower. The second bedroom is good sized and the third bedroom has lovely water views. In addition, the house has an oversized two car garage.

Boat-house!

The home's property has 110ft. of waterfront! The property is the seventh house from the open water on the eastern side of the inlet, so you are protected from winter storms. On the beach is a hard-to-find, grand-fathered boat house. The swim dock is newly re-planked. On the north side of the home is a 6 x 9 foot, detached shed with a concrete slab floor and is ideal for housing dogs, chickens, or other small livestock, for use as a toolshed or for storing firewood. The large .95 acre lot has expansive lawns, an orchard, large garden plot, a paved driveway that serves the house as well as a 13 x 24 foot outbuilding (with electrical power and erected on a cement slab) that is unfinished inside and can be used to store vehicles or water craft or could be converted to a shop or studio. At the foot of a small mountain yet the home is on level ground, down a paved road, and NOT on a hill. Moose, ducks, geese, deer, and beavers have been spotted on the property yet the home is close to the paved bike trail that goes across the Long Bridge (Highway 95 bridge over Lake Pend Oreille) to civilization, and right to downtown Sandpoint services, restaurants, coffee shops boutiques, outdoor outfitters and everything you would expect in a resort town. Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort is just minutes away.
