Inside the home
Penman Manor is a converted 1878 textile mill on the Nith River in Paris, Ontario. This fifth-floor one-bedroom unit has the high ceilings, oversized industrial windows, and exposed ductwork that come with a genuine heritage conversion — not a cosmetic imitation of it. The unit is compact at 513 sq ft. The kitchen and bathroom carry their original conversion-era finishes — wood cabinets, dark counters, black appliances, and bold paint — so buyers should budget for cosmetic updates. Hardwood floors throughout are a plus. In-suite stacked laundry and an owned parking spot are included. The building grounds back directly onto the river with trail access, a shared gazebo, and mature trees. The common hallways and elevator look recently refreshed. Paris downtown is a short walk.
