615 E Short Mountain Street

Full of history, charm, and timeless character, this unforgettable 3-bedroom, 1 bathroom brick home sits on a spacious ½-acre lot right in the heart of Paris. Offering 1,652 sq ft, this home is believed to be one of the very first homes built in Paris, with historical documentation available through the local library. One of the first things you'll fall in love with is the incredible covered front porch, perfect for morning coffee, porch swings, rainy afternoons, or relaxing evenings with family and friends. Inside, you’ll find beautiful original hardwood floors, original interior doors and doorknobs, abundant natural light, and living areas full of warmth and personality. Homes with this kind of preserved craftsmanship are becoming harder and harder to find. This home blends historic charm with important updates, including a brand-new roof installed 04/2026 and upgraded attic insulation added in 2021. The attic fan works wonderfully to help keep the home comfortable, while the large and spacious floored attic with stair access provides storage and future potential. Downstairs, a true root cellar basement adds even more character and functionality. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers fruit trees and rich soil ideal for gardening, plenty of room to spread out, and multiple outbuildings for storage, hobbies, or workshop space. The detached garage and additional outbuilding both have electricity, and the covered slab area provides even more usable outdoor space. Located just down the road from the elementary school and close to a local park, this property offers the convenience of town living while still providing space, charm, and privacy that’s hard to find. Homes like this rarely come available — this is truly a special place to call home.
