About 5213 N Montana Ave
A sweet front porch faces the quiet street, while leaded glass above the living room picture window hints at what’s waiting inside. The living room features high ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and built-in bookcases with leaded-glass doors. Yes, the wood floors need some love, but they’re ready to be brought back to life. A winding staircase rises from the entry, adding even more vintage character. The formal dining room has large windows and a built-in hutch, with an additional main-floor bedroom just off the space. The roomy kitchen has seen some updates and offers plenty of storage and counter space. A rear mudroom provides basement and backyard access, plus a practical landing spot for coats, boots, and all those rainy Portland days. A full bathroom completes the main level. Upstairs, two bedrooms are joined by a generous landing ready for a reading nook, desk, or cozy retreat. Built-in drawers and linen cupboards add the kind of original details that make older homes special.The full unfinished basement has high ceilings and room for laundry, storage, hobbies, or bigger ideas! And then there’s the Overlook neighborhood: New Seasons, parks, coffee shops, restaurants, bars, MAX service, and I-5 access are all nearby, making it easy to head around town or stay close to home and still have a night out on the town. This one isn’t perfect—and that’s exactly the opportunity. Roll up your sleeves, preserve the details, make the updates you want, and shape a classic Portland home into your own.
