Inside the home
Built in 1854, this Paris home has original details that are genuinely hard to find — wide-plank hardwood floors, cast iron radiators, multiple fireplaces with period surrounds, and a staircase that sets the tone the moment you walk in. The living and dining rooms are large, bright, and connected through a wide cased opening. The upper bathroom has been updated with a jetted corner tub, separate shower, and floating vanity. The kitchen works but reflects several rounds of partial updates rather than one cohesive renovation. The primary bedroom is generously sized with a fireplace, but the floors need refinishing. The lot is the other headline: approximately 178 feet deep with mature trees, a new cedar deck, established perennial gardens, and solar panels on the rear addition. The rear lot backs toward open space near the Grand River valley — unusual depth for a downtown Paris address. A rail line runs along the rear boundary, which buyers should factor in.
