Listing Description

Welcome to 1808 S Porter Avenue in Joplin, MO. There's something undeniably charming about a classic 1950s cottage--and 1808 S Porter Avenue has all the character you hope to find, paired with thoughtful updates for today. This all-brick, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 1,147 square feet of inviting living space, with luxury vinyl plank

flooring installed approximately three years ago and a convenient mudroom/laundry room tucked just off the back of the home. An additional approximately 300 square feet of unfinished basement space provides plenty of room for storage and all those things you'd rather keep neatly out of sight.

Step outside and you'll find even more to love. A brand-new wood privacy fence encloses the generously sized backyard, where an ornate concrete walkway and patio add unexpected character and create a lovely spot for outdoor seating, entertaining or simply enjoying the shade of the mature trees.

Alley access leads to a detached garage complete with electric, a garage door opener and a garage door replaced approximately three years ago. A separate workshop with a concrete floor and electric adds another wonderfully versatile space--whether you envision an art studio, hobby room, workspace, garden shed or simply extra storage.

Out front, a large covered porch offers the kind of welcoming spot that feels perfectly at home on a cottage like this, while mature trees add to the established feel of the surrounding neighborhood. The location adds another layer of convenience, with KCU Medical and Dental Schools, Freeman and Mercy hospitals, nearby restaurants, and both Mercy and Cunningham parks all just a short distance away.

From its timeless brick exterior and charming front porch to its spacious backyard and unexpectedly versatile bonus spaces, this is a home with personality, practicality and plenty of possibilities.
