Inside the home
This 1910 Paris century home has genuine bones — carved original staircase, stained glass interior windows, wide-plank floors, and wood trim that would cost a fortune to reproduce today. Major envelope work was done in 2024 (windows, siding, soffit, fascia), and the mechanical systems are fresh with a 2023 furnace and AC. The layout is unusual and spacious: five bedrooms across two upper floors plus a fully finished third-floor attic bonus space, and a separate-entrance basement with its own kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom for multi-generational or income use. The main floor kitchen has been updated with white cabinetry and a butler's pantry for storage. Buyers should view the attic and basement finishes in person — both are heavily personalized and will likely need cosmetic updating to suit most tastes. The lot is a standout, with a large driveway, detached garage, mature gardens, and an upper balcony overlooking the yard — steps from the Grand River.
