Inside the home
This is a legal side-by-side duplex in Paris, which is a rare thing to find. The main unit has been substantially renovated — the kitchen and dining area are the clear highlights, with white shaker cabinets, updated counters, recessed lighting, and a large built-in storage wall that opens to the dining room via sliding glass doors to the rear deck. The foyer and laundry room are also freshly done. The secondary unit is fully self-contained with its own entry, kitchenette, sitting room, bedroom, and a well-finished 3-piece bath with a glass walk-in shower. It works as a rental, in-law suite, or can be reconnected to the main home. The trade-off is the main bathroom and the bedrooms in the original wing — they carry older finishes including carpet and a 1980s-era bathroom that will need attention. Mechanicals have been updated. The rear yard is a genuine asset: large, flat, fully fenced, with a covered pergola deck off the dining area.
