Inside the home
This 1890-built Paris townhouse has real exterior character — the decorative Victorian porch and original brick make it one of the more distinctive streetscapes in town. The location is a genuine asset: a short walk to Paris's historic main street, shops, and the Grand River. Inside, the house is livable but largely untouched since the 1990s. Pink carpet, oak cabinets, drop tile ceilings in the kitchen and primary bedroom, and wallpapered bedrooms all need attention. The front upstairs room is the exception — it has laminate floors, crown moulding, and plantation shutters that show what the rest of the home could become. The listing states major mechanicals (roof, windows, furnace, A/C) have been replaced, which removes the most expensive unknowns. What remains is a cosmetic renovation project in a building with solid bones and a good address.
