First time on the market, and worth the wait. This single-level ranch home on Devils Lake quietly guards a most desirable piece of land, chosen when the best parcels were available. Large grass yard with hardscaped lakefront seating area and walkway, mature conifers fronted by calm water, and anchored by something rare: a private beach, dock, and boathouse all on one .35-acre lot.

Inside, the great room opens to a wall of glass that frames the lake like a painting, with a wood-burning fireplace to keep you warm and cozy. Step outside and there's a second wood burning brick fireplace - on a property like this, you live outdoors as much as in.

A new roof covers three bedrooms, two baths, and a single-level layout that lets every generation move around easily. Next-door, the small and charming Sandpoint Park offers a green neighborly buffer and a long drive yields ample parking. Devils Lake invites you to cast a line at first light, glide across glassy water by kayak, let summer afternoons unfold with paddle boards or jet ski's and the sound of laughter.

The ocean is minutes away and Lincoln City is closer still. Some places hold on for a lifetime before letting go. Opportunities like this don't come twice.
