Inside the home
This 1913 Craftsman sits on a 250-foot deep lot in Paris, Ontario — a rare find in a town where properties this size rarely come to market. The original bones are intact: wood staircase, pocket doors, hardwood floors, and a fireplace with built-in radiator covers. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with white shaker cabinets, full-height subway tile, butcher block counters, a dark island with stone counter, and stainless appliances including a gas range. The rest of the main floor flows well, with the dining room opening to a rear deck through sliding glass doors. Upstairs, three bedrooms retain their original wide-plank floors and heritage character. The finished basement adds a rec room, an additional bedroom or den, and a bathroom, with walkout access to the side. The deep rear yard, cedar hedge privacy screen, fire pit area, and detached garage with hydro round out a property that offers genuine space and character for the price.
