Inside the home
This is a condo unit inside Penman Manor, a converted 1878 textile mill on the Nith River in Paris, Ontario. The building itself is the main draw — five storeys of yellow brick and original stone, with 10-foot ceilings, exposed ductwork, and oversized multi-pane windows that are part of the historic structure. Unit 301 is a one-bedroom, one-bath layout at 600 square feet. The kitchen and bathroom finishes are from roughly 2010-2015 — maple cabinets, dark laminate counters, mosaic tile backsplash — functional and in decent shape, but not a recent update. The stacked in-suite laundry appears newer. A new AC unit was added in 2024. The building sits directly beside the Nith River trail system, walkable to Paris's small downtown. Buyers drawn to heritage conversions and riverfront access will find this unit worth a look. Those expecting current finishes should adjust expectations accordingly.
