Some houses sit in a great location. This one is the location. Tucked down a quiet lane with its own postal code and just one neighbour (a gem, we're told), this charming 1887 century bungalow puts you steps from the Grand River, Lion's Park, and every shop and restaurant that makes Paris one of the most coveted small towns in the country. You are not near downtown Paris. You are in it. The board and batten exterior gives this home serious cottage character, low maintenance and high on charm. Peek-a-boo views of the Nith River and a canopy of mature trees make this setting feel more like a retreat than a neighbourhood. Inside, nearly 1,000 sq ft has been thoughtfully updated while keeping every bit of its personality intact. Two good-sized bedrooms, a roomy living room with a cozy gas stove, and a kitchen that somehow manages to be both modern and completely charming. A copper sink and panelled dishwasher? Yes. Updated appliances and finishes? Also yes. The updated 4-piece bath is clean and modern. The mudroom off the back handles laundry without sending you to the basement. And that basement? Fully insulated, dry, good ceiling height, and ready for whatever you need it to be. Outside, a multi-tiered deck gives you real entertaining space without demanding your weekends. The detached garage works great as a workshop and has power, plus there's a bonus shed with power too. Man cave? She shed? Both? You decide. A wheelchair ramp from the driveway makes access easy. The yard is low maintenance. And when you are ready for action, downtown Paris is literally steps away. This is a rare one. The kind of place people stay in for decades, and the seller is sad to go. Character. Location. Charm. This is Paris living at its finest. (id:2493)
