Inside the home
This custom Paris home sits on a ridge above the Grand River, and the upper loft — added in 2008 — was built specifically to take advantage of that. The room has a vaulted ceiling, twin skylights, and a full wall of angled windows facing the water and treetops. It is the defining feature of the house. The layout is unconventional: the main floor holds the kitchen, dining, and sunken living room with a brick fireplace insert; the lower level contains the primary bedroom suite with a large tiled four-piece bath. Buyers should walk the floor plan carefully — this is not a standard bungalow arrangement. The kitchen is functional with white cabinets, subway tile, and a large walk-in pantry, though the black appliances and cabinet profile date it. Roof shingles are 2022. Furnace and AC are from 2008.
