1 John Avenue, Paris, ON N3L 2S8

Welcome to 1 John Avenue in the heart of Paris, one of Southern Ontario’s most charming small towns. Originally built in 1910, this home carries the kind of character you simply can’t recreate. It is not a cookie cutter home. It has a story, and with that comes the kind of quirks you would expect from a home of this era.

With 1,823 sq ft, 5 bedrooms, and 2 full bathrooms, there is plenty of space here for a growing family or multi generational living. At one point, this home functioned as a duplex, and it still offers two separate entrances. One is on the west side leading to the main floor, and another on the south side that could provide direct access to the upper level. Whether you are thinking about extended family, guests, or potential equity building in the future, this layout opens the door to a great deal of possibilities.

The main floor offers a renovated full bathroom completed in 2024, a bedroom, and a large kitchen with plenty of counter and prep space. Just off the kitchen is a spacious, separate dining room with a sliding door which leads to the rear deck on the east side of the home and the rear yard, making it easy to move between indoor and outdoor living during the warmer months. Laundry is conveniently located on the main floor. The appliances have all been updated within the last five years, and the updated furnace, AC and 200 amp electrical service provide peace of mind.

The second floor continues the unique character of the home while offering practical additional bedroom space. The primary bedroom includes its own ensuite, along with 3 additional bedrooms.

All of the windows in the home are situated on the east, south and west side of the home, allowing daylight to pour inside all day long.

The property itself and the location are fantastic on their own! Set on a large corner lot, with beautiful, mature trees, John Avenue really is the kind of street you only drive down if you live there, making it a quiet place to enjoy the solitude of home. Enjoy being close to everything that makes Paris so special, with the charming downtown core just a short distance away, offering inviting restaurants that overlook the Grand River, cafés, one of a kind shops, and a beloved local brewery. Parks, and trails are also just a short walk away, offering year round opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

If you have been waiting for something with character, space, and a setting that is hard to replicate, at a price that doesn't break the bank, this is one worth seeing!
