4792 W Fountain Rd, Joplin, MO 64801

Tucked among 4.75 wooded acres on the west side of Joplin, this property offers a private natural setting overlooking a scenic hollow. Built in 1978, the home features 3,174 square feet of living space across three levels, including a walk-out basement, and is ready for its next chapter. A circle drive welcomes you to the dark wood-sided home, while a separate shed with a covered front porch brings to mind the appearance of an old country store. Inside, the foyer features a painted floor and opens to an office with a loft above the closet. The kitchen flows into the dining area and living room, creating a central gathering space. Tall vaulted ceilings extend from the living room and breakfast nook to the second level, while abundant windows in the breakfast nook provide views of the surrounding landscape. Three sliding glass doors lead to the deck, with a rock patio below. The home includes two distinctive wood-burning fireplaces--one on the main level and one in the basement--each featuring a large L-shaped stone surround, built-in firewood storage, and a wood mantel. Upstairs, a loft room overlooks the living area below through an open railing. A spiral staircase in the breakfast nook provides access to the basement, which features an epoxy floor, a second fireplace, a small bar area with a sink, and walk-out access. There is an electric boiler and baseboard system and A/C window units. Although, condition of both heating and cooling units are unknown. The perimeter of the property is partially fenced with barbed wire. This property is being sold as-is, where-is. The home will require significant repairs and updates before occupancy. The price reflects the condition of the property and presents an opportunity for a buyer looking to restore, renovate, or reimagine a home in a beautiful wooded setting. With vision and investment, this property offers the chance to create something truly special while enjoying nearly five acres of natural surroundings.
