13 & 15 Montrose AvenuePortland, ME 04103Price: $700,000

Offered together, 13 and 15 Montrose Avenue pair a 1910 Colonial with the adjoining 5,000 square foot parcel, roughly a fifth of an acre in all on a quiet residential street. In this area of Portland, an available sizable yard, four bedrooms and a two car garage rarely arrive at the same address. For those who wish to see another home be built on the aforementioned lot, potential exists with proper due diligence. One family has lived here for nearly 50 years, and the period character they preserved is breathtaking. Beautiful trim moldings, original doors and knobs, built-ins and wood floors carry through the house. A three window bay and a fireplace anchor the living room, French doors open to a dining room with its built in china cabinet, and the eat in kitchen holds a sizable table. Room here for large gatherings. Sun-drenched through morning and afternoon, the house hands the evening over to the shade of the tree covered brick patio. Take your coffee to the front porch and watch the neighborhood dogs bring their humans out for fresh air along the sidewalks, amid conversation and laughter. Above, a walk-up attic offers 400+/- unfinished square feet for storage or expanded living space. Below, a generous basement with a utility sink, cold storage and walk-out access to the rear yard. Outside, the side yard has long been the place for fun neighborhood baseball games. Priced for a homeowner to bring their own modern updates. Stevens Avenue carries a student from elementary school through high school and on to a college campus, all on one street, alongside businesses that are a beloved part of this community: Rosemont Market, The Knotted Apron, Woodford Food & Beverage, Pat's Meat Market, The Rambler Coffee & Flowers, Norimoto Bakery, The Crooked Mile, The Quality Shop, Tipo, Local Press and a branch of the Portland Public Library. I-295, I-95 exits 46, 47 and 48, and the Portland Jetport are under 10 minutes away. Bring your vision and make this home yours!
