Paradise is a historic house at 158 Winchester Street in Warrenton, Virginia. The oldest portion of this two story timber frame house was built c. 1758, and is believed to be the oldest building in Warrenton. The central block of the house is three bays, with a side passage plan. It is flanked on either side by two-story wood frame wings. The house exterior was extensively redecorated in 1870, adding a full-width porch and substantial Italianate and Folk Victorian woodwork.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014; it was a contributing element of the Warrenton Historic District, listed in 1983.
