This is a legal side-by-side duplex in Paris with a genuine income or multigenerational use case. The main unit has been heavily updated at the front — the foyer, kitchen, dining room, and laundry are all recently renovated with white shaker cabinetry, marble-look tile backsplash, and light laminate floors. The covered pergola deck and large fenced yard are real assets.
The trade-off is consistency. The main unit bathroom is fully original — dated oak vanity, tile surround, and all. The primary bedroom still has carpet and original doors. The secondary unit is compact at under 400 sq ft but has its own entry, an updated glass shower bathroom, and a private deck.
Mechanicals have been addressed — updated furnace, A/C, roof, and windows. For buyers who want rental income or space for family without sharing a front door, the bones here are solid even where the finishes aren't.
