Inside the home
This 1885 Paris home has been updated where it counts — kitchen, bathroom, floors, windows, mechanical — while keeping the original stucco exterior intact. The inside feels fresh and well-finished for its age and price point. The real story here is the garage. Built in 2021, it measures roughly 30 by 27 feet, has drive-through access, and includes a staircase up to a 284-sqft attic storage loft. For a tradesperson, hobbyist, or anyone needing serious workspace, there is not much else like it at this price in Paris. The house itself is practical: main floor laundry, a renovated four-piece bath, updated kitchen with butcher block counters and stainless appliances, and a large primary bedroom with vaulted ceiling upstairs. The one real limitation is the crawl space — there is no basement.
