Thoughtfully updated 1944 home in Montavilla/North Tabor, where classic Portland character meets a long list of substantial improvements. Period-appropriate details, oak accents, Benjamin Moore paint, and lighting from Schoolhouse Electric + Rejuvenation complement the original character throughout. Major system upgrades include a 2021 high-efficiency RUUD 95% AFUE furnace + central AC, Bradford White Energy Star water heater, extensive PEX repiping, newer roof + gutters, and R-30 attic insulation.The finished lower level adds flexible living space with a wet bar featuring a Cambria quartz countertop, Marca Corona tile, oak accents, Delta Trinsic fixtures, Jeld-Wen windows, and architectural doors + hardware selected to coordinate with the home's original style. Kitchen improvements include updated flooring, appliances, hardware, faucet, paint, and refreshed concrete countertops. Outside, newer improvements include Therma-Tru fiberglass doors with Emtek hardware, Clopay Avante garage door, cedar fencing, deck, and a retaining wall with drainage. The standout is the architect-designed 2024 detached backyard office/studio—a beautifully executed space featuring clear cedar, Milgard Trinsic windows + doors, mini-split heating and cooling, concealed gutters, and carefully aligned architectural details. With an Energy Score of 7, this is a vintage Portland home with meaningful upgrades already completed and exceptional flexibility for modern living. [Home Energy Score = 7.

Listed by Sally Schwartz• Portland's Alternative Inc., Realtors
Montavilla, located between Mount Tabor and Gateway, is a residential and commercial Portland neighborhood with a walkable main street and a classic streetcar-era grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around SE Stark Street near SE 80th Avenue, where taverns, coffee counters, vintage shops, and small galleries keep the sidewalks active. Montavilla Brew Works, Academy Theater, and Bipartisan Cafe act as local pillars for pints, films, and late-night pie. Early-20th-century bungalows and cottages mix with brick storefronts and newer infill along the arterials. Tree-lined blocks lead to pocket parks and community gardens, while the nearby MAX line adds a steady transit rhythm. The annual Montavilla Street Fair turns Stark into a pedestrian promenade of makers and music.
