Like a rare piece of art, one of the most iconic homes in Ontario is going to auction

NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2025 /CNW/ - 1 Banfield Street, an extraordinary home in Paris, Ontario, is being sold through auction at Sotheby's International Realty's Concierge Auctions. The sale of this iconic and historically remarkable home in Paris is notable not only because of its unique status as a historic property, but also for the rare and unconventional method of auctioning such a treasure.

Built in 1854, this nearly 9,000 square foot Victorian Gothic masterpiece holds enormous historical value, having once been host to many spectacular figures in history such as Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, and inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell. In its years, the property has been a home and a beautiful site for exceptional fundraising events and family weddings. With millions of dollars poured into the property, the original features such as the slate roof, hardwood floors, plaster moldings, and five fireplaces have been meticulously restored, blending seamlessly with modern upgrades to ensure twenty-first century luxuries.

As the house is itself a beautiful work of art, owner, art collector and entrepreneur Salah Bachir felt it would be a terrific fit to auction the property off like the many exceptional artworks he's acquired over the years. With the auction opening with NYC-based Concierge Auctions on February 13th, and running until February 25th, there is an added air of exclusivity and excitement.

The combination of this property's impressive past, distinguished visitors, and the rare opportunity to purchase it via auction makes 1 Banfield St, Paris, a truly exceptional and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the discerning buyer.
