73 Grand River Street

This 1903 red brick home in Paris has held onto most of its original character — wide-plank hardwood floors, heavy wood door casings, a leaded-glass vestibule door, and a turned staircase newel post that most renovations would have stripped out years ago. The main floor has been freshened with neutral paint and updated lighting while keeping the bones intact. The kitchen and main-floor powder room have both been updated. The kitchen gets white cabinets, subway tile, a gas range with wall-mount hood, and stainless appliances. The powder room is the sharpest room in the house — teal vanity, brass fixtures, hexagonal tile accent wall. The full upstairs bathroom is a contrast: functional but clearly due for attention. The lot is the other selling point. It runs deep, with a flagstone patio off the rear, a detached garage, a secondary outbuilding, and mature tree coverage that gives the yard more privacy than most Paris in-town properties can offer. The Grand River and downtown are both a short walk away.
