It won’t be cold for long.

Imagine kayaking on a peaceful lake inlet, or strolling through nature on a warm June afternoon surrounded by the North Idaho mountains. Now imagine a brand-new home near the Lake Pend Oreille waterfront. Just think: Build now and it can be ready this summer.

The Parkside Bungalows neighborhood at the Dover Bay Waterfront Community offers just that. Buyers can choose from several floor plans and begin the construction process on a new bungalow in one of the community’s most peaceful developments, which is now in its second phase.

The neighborhood includes access to a gorgeous private inlet that feeds into Lake Pend Oreille, where homeowners can canoe, kayak and paddleboard in a picturesque and relaxing mountain setting. Parkside Bungalows will also soon have its own private beach area for residents.

Just one waterfront lot is still available in the second phase, which is set to be a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a two-car garage. It is priced at $409,000.

The remaining interior lots in the second phase still include inlet and beach access and are priced between about $209,000 and $325,000. Floor plans range from one-bedroom, one-bathroom homes up to three-bedroom, three-bathroom homes.

Homes include landscaping and sprinkler system, premium appliances, gas fireplaces, gas forced air heating and air conditioning, and the ability for buyers to choose their finishes. Parkside Bungalows is an extremely low-maintenance neighborhood, with landscaping, window washing, snow removal, water and sewer all included in the reasonable HOA fees.

Parkside Bungalows can serve as full-time or seasonal residences, and owners can also utilize the property as a long-term or vacation rental.

The neighborhood connects to 9 miles of walking and biking trails within the Dover Bay community. The waterfront community as a whole also includes 9 acres of beach and park areas. Parkside Bungalows is a short walk away from Dover Bay’s Marina Village, which includes amenities like a fitness center, market, full-service seasonal restaurant, tennis courts, kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals, and a year-round outdoor heated swimming pool and spa. Moorage at the newly expanded marina is also available now for reservation, and the marina allows for both seasonal and short-term options.

While many are already thinking about summer, skiers and snowboarders are wanting to keep the winter season going as long as possible. The award-winning Schweitzer Mountain Resort is located just 12 miles from the Dover Bay community, which is also home to a variety of luxurious and affordable vacation rentals. Contact the Dover Bay Resort to reserve a cozy abode for the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. Day long weekend.

Premium shopping and dining can be found in downtown Sandpoint, just 3 miles from Dover Bay. The newly completed Sandcreek Lofts at Sandpoint Marina also makes for an excellent vacation rental option any time of the year.
