Inside the home
This is a custom-built stone bungalow on a double-sized corner lot in Paris, with a fully finished basement that functions as a second living level — complete with a kitchenette, family room, rec room, bedroom, and bathroom. The main floor has good bones: hardwood in the living room, crown moulding, a large dining room with south-facing windows, and a gas fireplace. The kitchen was updated at some point with granite counters and white cabinetry, but appliances are dated. Both bathrooms are original 1990s — the ensuite in particular has the full period look with dark green tile, a corner jetted tub, and brass fixtures. The carpet in the bedrooms needs replacing. On the positive side, the mechanicals have been addressed recently — furnace, water heater, water softener, and filtration are all new. The rear composite deck is new. The lot is unusually large for Paris, fully fenced, and backs onto mature trees. Buyers who want space and a project will find genuine value here.
