Inside the home
This is a genuine 1861 cobblestone and brick house in Paris, sitting on just under three-quarters of an acre. The original section of the home has the kind of bones you rarely find — thick stone walls, deep-silled windows, 10-foot ceilings, and hardwood floors through the main living areas. The stone fireplace and exposed interior cobblestone wall in the kitchen are real period details, not reproductions. The kitchen in the 1980s addition is the most dated part of the house and will need a full update. The basement is partially finished but currently used for storage. Both bathrooms have been updated to a reasonable standard, with the front 4-piece being the better of the two. The lot is the other major draw — a large fenced backyard with an in-ground pool (liner replaced 2021), a deck off the addition, a detached garage, and mature trees along the perimeter. For Paris, this combination of historic character and lot size is uncommon at this price point.

A spectacular home that’s close to schools, parks, trails for walking and biking along the river, shopping, and fine restaurants. Book a private showing before it’s gone!
