Enjoy Sandpoint's fall colors at the new Sandcreek Lofts

Vibrant reds, oranges and yellows are taking over North Idaho, and there’s no better locale than Sandpoint to take in the autumn beauty.

At the heart of Sandpoint’s lively downtown culture sits the just completed Sandcreek Lofts, a premium, vacation-style complex from Dover Bay Development. The four-level building sits near the Sandpoint Marina, with all homes facing the water and offering varied views of the city, Trestle Creek, Lake Pend Oreille and the area’s surrounding mountain vistas.

The waterfront homes are within short walking distance of more than 22 restaurants, the historic Panida Theater, numerous shops, the boardwalk and nearby walking and biking trails and gorgeous Lake Pend Oreille beaches. And for those already itching for ski season, the Sandcreek Lofts are just 13 miles from world-class skiing at Schweitzer Mountain Resort.

Sandcreek Lofts has been a hot property since even the beginning of its development. Now complete, the building only has three homes remaining for purchase:

A one-bedroom plus office home with a gorgeous deck that looks just east over the marina is priced at $379,000.

There are two remaining one-bedroom homes, one on the third floor and one on the top, priced at $349,000 and $359,000, respectively. The top floor home also includes 12-foot ceilings. Homes can be permanent residences or buyers can utilize them as vacation rentals.

HOA fees are typically $250-400/month, depending on the square footage of the unit.

In addition to the for-sale properties, Dover Bay Development is also offering three units as waterfront vacation-rental condos at the Sandcreek Lofts. The two-bedroom “Life’s a Beach” unit, the one-bedroom plus office “Marina Daze” condo and the one-bedroom “Sandcreek Retreat” are now available. Each offer waterfront views, spacious floor plans and high-end amenities right at the heart of town.

Built in a contemporary/marina-classic style, the Sandcreek Lofts offers both residents and visitors top-of-the-line amenities. Individual homes feature open floor plans, 8- to 10-foot windows, quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances included. There are temperature controls in each room, and the building has been engineered for ideal sound abatement. Premium carpeting and hard flooring are also standards throughout.

The building includes an elevator and each home comes with a covered parking space, with additional overflow parking nearby.

Buyers at Sandcreek can opt to rent a boat slip at the Sandpoint Marina. They can also consider moorage at the Marina Village at the Dover Bay Waterfront Community, located 3 miles from downtown Sandpoint. The Marina Village includes its own set of unique amenities, including an outdoor heated swimming pool and spa, fitness center, full service restaurant and much more.

Dover Bay offers several different living opportunities across a diverse spectrum of neighborhoods, all located near 9 acres of exclusive beaches and dedicated park areas.
