This 1918 brick home on a Paris corner lot has genuine bones — a wide living room with gas fireplace, formal dining room, two sunrooms, and four bedrooms across a 2,108 sq ft layout. The detached garage is oversize and has real workshop potential.
The kitchen has been updated with white cabinets, dark counters, and hardwood floors, and one bathroom has a newer double vanity. The furnace and hot water tank appear recently replaced. That said, the majority of the interior is unchanged from the 1970s-80s: wallpaper in every room, gold and red carpet, dated fixtures, and an unfinished stone basement. Buyers should budget for significant cosmetic work.
The rear deck needs attention, and the unfinished garage interior is rough. The asking price reflects both the location and the heritage character — but also the full scope of updating that lies ahead.

Welcome to 46 Jane Street: A Renaissance of Heritage & High Style. Poised elegantly on a premier corner lot at Jane Street and Alexander Avenue, this 1918 century manor stands as one of Paris’s most distinguished historical residences. A true architectural renaissance, this 4-bedroom beauty has been meticulously reimagined to blend soulful heritage character with sophisticated modern luxury. Beyond the quintessential front porch—the ultimate vantage point for a morning coffee—lies an interior visual masterpiece. Adorned with curated wallpaper throughout, the home exudes a whimsical elegance and high-style romance reminiscent of a modern-day estate. The sprawling 2,108 sq. ft. layout is designed for both grand entertaining and intimate retreats. The main level features an expansive living room anchored by a cozy gas fireplace, flowing seamlessly into a formal dining room. From here, step into one of two sun-drenched sunrooms where walls of windows frame the lush surroundings. Practicality meets prestige with extensive modern upgrades, including updated wiring, plumbing, windows, and a brand-new gas furnace for total peace of mind. Upstairs, the sanctuary continues with four spacious bedrooms, highlighted by a gas fireplace in the primary suite and a private sunroom retreat—the perfect "secret garden" for morning yoga or a quiet library. Outside, the detached 1.5-car garage serves as a dream workshop or studio. Located just steps from the historic downtown core, you are walking distance to elite schools, artisanal shops, and the scenic trails of the Grand and Nith Rivers. This is more than a home; it is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Paris history.
