Perched gracefully above the Grand River, the storied Baird House (circa 1860s) stands among Paris's most distinguished heritage residences. This Italianate manor showcases the artistry of a bygone era-towering 12-foot ceilings, intricate plaster medallions, deep baseboards, and richly detailed woodwork-beautifully preserved and seamlessly paired with modern comfort. Sun-filled principal rooms open to manicured grounds shaded by century-old trees, offering privacy and tranquility just steps from the shops and cafés of downtown Paris. Over 6,000 sqft above grade including a possible inlaw suite above the 4 bay garage. Heated floors and serviced by an elevator make this space flexible for a multitude of uses. Steeped in history yet tailored for contemporary living, 194 Grand River Street North embodies the elegance, authenticity, and character that define one of Ontario's most celebrated small towns. One of the first homes in the world to have a telephone adds a special novelty that cannot be replicated. Designated as Community Corridor in the County of Brant's most updated Official Plan allows for a variety of residential and commercial uses. (id:2493)
