Description

Built in 1892, operated as the Paradise Hotel until 1940 and known locally as the Charles Durling House, this distinctive Second Empire home has stood at the heart of Paradise for more than 130 years, gathering stories while remaining beautifully relevant to the way we live today. Offering four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, the home has been carefully stewarded and thoughtfully improved without losing the architectural character that makes it so memorable. Generous principal rooms, high ceilings, original details and an easy sense of flow create a home that feels both substantial and welcoming, while a ducted heat pump provides efficient, year round comfort. Outside, the property is framed by established landscaping that has been cultivated with remarkable care, creating layered gardens and beautiful outdoor spaces throughout the seasons. The impressive barn adds another dimension entirely. Lifted and set onto a poured concrete foundation, it offers exceptional space for storage, a workshop, creative pursuits or whatever the next owner may imagine. Once operated as the Paradise Inn, this is a property shaped by hospitality, community and more than a century of life within its walls. Historic without feeling frozen in time, 116 Paradise Lane is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of one of the village’s most recognizable homes.
