Inside the home
This is a three-unit brick triplex in the heart of downtown Paris, steps from the Grand River and the main commercial strip. The building dates to 1850 and the three self-contained units vary widely in finish level — one has a recently updated white shaker kitchen with stainless appliances, another retains a 1990s oak kitchen, and a third unit occupies the lower level with basic but functional finishes. The upper unit has the most character: high ceilings, original crown moulding, a marble fireplace surround, and attic-level bedrooms with good hardwood floors and bay dormer windows. The covered rear gazebo and rear lane parking add practical value. The real wildcard is the historic two-storey stone barn at the rear. The lower level functions as garage and workshop space; the upper loft is a massive raw timber-frame volume that would need full work to be usable. The property's core commercial zoning opens doors that straight residential zoning would not.
