Built in 1854, the Paris, ON, home is full of historic charm and modern amenities, including a 1,080 sq. ft saltwater pool.There are rare gems, and then there are one-of-a-kind jewels. A newly listed historic Gothic Victorian in the quiet suburbs of Paris, Ontario, is one of the latter.
What's more, the home is finished with a 1,080 sq. ft saltwater pool, surrounded by lush grounds designed by landscape architect John Lloyd. On the main floor is a maze of ornate sitting rooms, all featuring high ceilings, glistening chandeliers, stunning crown moulding, and at least one wood-burning fireplace. Towards the back of the house you'll find the formal dining room with dramatic vermillion walls, as well as a large country kitchen, boasting ample storage space — and a chef's range.
Located in one of Ontario's most charming small towns, this historic home is not only rich in character and history, but it's ideally situated on a tranquil residential street just outside of town, steps from the Grand River. It's also surrounded by hiking trails as well as restaurants, and the shops along Grand River Street. And if you're in the mood for a show or a night on the town, Toronto is only a 90-minute drive away.
