57 West River Street

This 1939 bungalow in Paris has had meaningful work done on the outside and in the kitchen. The metal standing-seam roof, new siding, and replacement windows give the exterior a clean, low-maintenance profile. Inside, the kitchen was redone with white shaker cabinets, dark counters, a tile backsplash, and a stainless range — a clear step up from what most homes this age are carrying. The rest of the main floor keeps its original character: dark hardwood, hollow-core wood doors, and crown moulding in the living and dining rooms. The combined bathroom and laundry is functional but tight. At 805 square feet across two bedrooms, this is a home that suits a single person or couple rather than a growing family. The backyard is worth noting — a sunken concrete patio with a boulder retaining wall and fire table setup makes good use of the sloped lot. Downtown Paris, the Grand River, and Lions Park are all a short walk away.
