13 Montrose Ave, Portland, ME 04103

Property Description

A 1910 Colonial on a quiet residential street in Portland's Rosemont Triangle, home to one family for nearly 50 years. The period character they preserved is breathtaking. Beautiful trim moldings, original doors and knobs, builtins 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 and its built-in china cabinet, and the eat-in kitchen holds a sizable table. There is room here for large gatherings. Four bedrooms, plus a two-car detached garage with its own private driveway, a combination that does not turn up often in this part of Portland. Additional land is available, please inquire. The house is sun-drenched, catching morning and afternoon sun before handing 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 room to expand the living space. Below, a generous basement with a utility sink, cold storage and walk-out access to the back yard. Rumor has it that kickball games have been played down there. Priced for a new owner 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!
