7835 SE SALMON ST

Tucked on a quiet Montavilla street just 0.4 miles from both Mt. Tabor and the restaurants, cafés and shops along Stark Street, The Montavilla Hideout pairs a light-filled home with a detached studio - creating a setup that lives bigger than its footprint. Inside, natural light pours through oversized windows, giving the living spaces an easy, open feel throughout the day. The layout is simple and functional, with three bedrooms on the main level and a flow that just works. Nothing forced, nothing wasted. But the real story starts when you step outside. The backyard is private, lush and surprisingly immersive, especially in the spring when everything comes to life. A covered patio creates outdoor living, while the firepit and mature landscaping make it a space you actually use, not just look at. At the back of the property, a detached studio changes the way the home lives. Bright, quiet and completely separate, it is ideal for working from home, creative projects, or simply having a space of your own. It even has its own deck. And then there is the flexibility. An unfinished basement offers room for storage, hobbies, workouts, ping pong games or future potential, while the detached garage adds even more options for workshop space or long-term expansion. Mt Tabor offers 176 acres of open space that feels more like a lifestyle than a park, from summer concerts and the iconic Soapbox Derby races to tennis courts, basketball, playgrounds and miles of trails. In the other direction, Stark Street delivers everyday favorites: morning coffee at Hungry Heart, dinner at The Observatory, the farmers market, and a mix of local shops, breweries and essentials that make the neighborhood easy to enjoy without getting in the car. It is a location that balances quiet residential living with real, walkable access to the things you actually use. The Montavilla Hideout - an easy, livable home in a neighborhood that continues to prove why it is one of Portland’s most enduring favorites.
