Step back to a time when homes were built with craftsmanship, character, and pride. Originally constructed to house employees of the historic Penman Textile Mill, a cornerstone of Paris' rich industrial heritage, this beautifully restored century home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the town's history while enjoying the comforts of modern living. Lovingly restored by a historic restoration specialist, every update has been completed with exceptional care while preserving the home's original character. From the original, fully functional early-1900s doorbell to the rich hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and solid wood trim, the craftsmanship of a bygone era is evident throughout. The custom solid wood handcrafted kitchen, blends seamlessly with the home's historic charm, newly refinished hardwood floors and a fully renovated bathroom. Original pocket doors glide effortlessly into their hidden walls, showcasing the thoughtful design of the era. Upstairs, the second-floor bathroom features a classic clawfoot tub, the perfect place to relax while embracing the home's timeless character. Original transom windows above the bedroom doors continue to allow natural light throughout the home. A convenient pull-down attic ladder provides access to an expansive attic, offering an abundance of valuable storage space. Major updates include a brand-new furnace (2026), central air conditioning (approximately two years old), hot water heater (approximately three to four years old), roof (2021), and a spacious rear deck rebuilt in 2020. Outside you'll also find a quality storage shed and parking with room for two trucks. Located just steps from downtown Paris, you can walk to coffee shops, restaurants, boutique shopping, riverside parks, and the scenic Paris to Cambridge Rail Trail. This is more than a beautifully restored home. It is an opportunity to own a piece of Paris' history while enjoying one of Ontario's most walkable and picturesque communities. (id:50976)
