This 1900-built Paris semi sits on a deep lot that backs onto a wooded conservation strip along the Nith River — a genuine natural buffer a short walk from downtown. The property extends well beyond the fenced yard into a treed area with river access, which is unusual for an in-town lot at this price.
Inside, the front rooms have been freshened with paint, laminate floors, and crown moulding, but the kitchen and upper bathroom are original 2000s-era and will need work. The rear family room addition is the most livable space — gas stove, sliding door to the deck, and a relaxed feel. Main floor laundry is a practical plus. Mechanicals have been updated (furnace 2019, water heater 2025).
At 1140 sq ft with 2 bedrooms and a partial basement, this is a small home. The river lot and Paris location are the main draw.
