What If Your Next Home Could Pay You Back?


Finding a home that adapts to your lifestyle isn't always easy. Finding one that can help pay for itself? That's even rarer.

Welcome to 17 Amelia Street in Paris, a unique legal duplex that offers the kind of flexibility today's buyers are searching for. Whether you're looking for a multigenerational living solution, a mortgage helper, an investment opportunity, or simply a home that can evolve with your family's needs, this property delivers options that are increasingly difficult to find.


A Rare Opportunity in an Established Paris Neighbourhood

Located in a mature neighbourhood where new housing opportunities are largely limited to infill development, 17 Amelia Street offers something that's becoming harder and harder to find: versatility.

As a legal duplex, the property provides multiple paths for homeowners and investors alike. Live in one unit and rent the other. Create the perfect setup for aging parents or adult children. Generate short-term rental income. Or simply enjoy the flexibility of a home that can adapt as your circumstances change.


Comfortable Main-Floor Living

The main residence offers the convenience of bungalow-style living, making everyday life easy and accessible.

A welcoming foyer opens into a spacious living area that's perfect for relaxing evenings, movie nights, or gathering with family and friends. Recent updates throughout the home provide peace of mind, including an updated furnace, air conditioning, roof, vinyl windows, and a beautiful new front entry door.

One of the standout features is the newly added kitchenette and dining space. Designed with functionality in mind, it offers abundant storage and enough room to comfortably host large family dinners and holiday gatherings with seating for 10 or more guests.

Down the hall you'll find two bedrooms, including an oversized primary bedroom that offers additional flexibility. The space is large enough that future owners may wish to convert it into two separate bedrooms, depending on their needs.


Outdoor Space Designed for Summer Living

Step outside and you'll discover a fully fenced backyard designed for enjoyment.

The two-part deck creates multiple outdoor living areas, including a covered section that's perfect for relaxing in the shade or hosting summer barbecues regardless of the weather. A spacious garden shed provides valuable outdoor storage, while the dry basement offers additional storage space to help keep the main living areas organized and clutter-free.


The Ultimate Flexible Living Space

What truly sets 17 Amelia Street apart is the secondary unit.

This self-contained space features its own living room, kitchen area, contemporary bathroom, comfortable bedroom, and a large private sun deck. Whether used as an income-generating rental, Airbnb accommodation, private guest suite, or in-law setup, the possibilities are extensive.

For buyers who don't need separate living quarters, there's another significant advantage: the units can be reopened and reconfigured into one larger single-family home.

It's rare to find a property that offers this level of flexibility without requiring major renovations.


A Smart Financial Opportunity

Many buyers today are looking for creative ways to make homeownership more affordable.

A legal duplex can provide opportunities to generate rental income, offset mortgage costs, accommodate family members while maintaining privacy, or build long-term wealth through investment. With updated mechanical systems already in place, much of the heavy lifting has already been done.


A Home That Works for Your Future

The best homes aren't just about where you live today—they're about supporting where life takes you tomorrow.

Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for additional income, a family planning for multigenerational living, or an investor seeking a rare opportunity in one of Ontario's most desirable small towns, 17 Amelia Street offers a level of flexibility that's increasingly difficult to find.

If you've been searching for a property that truly works as hard as you do, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
