About 281 Draper Ave
281 Draper sits in a very desirable and accessible area of Pontiac. Just North of Sylvan lake with access available through the Pioneer Highlands Civic Association (only $35 a year!) you wont find a living solution like this too often. If this becomes your future home you will enjoy the fact that every surface both inside and out was redone this year! We are talking fresh paint on walls, doors, trim, and ceiling. The natural hardwood floors have been restored to their original beauty. New door hardware, switches, and outlets take this renovation to the extreme! And EVERY Window in this amazing ranch home is NEW! With marble window sills - who does that!!! The bonus room has the potential o be converted into a 3rd bedroom with a few quick modifications. The exterior is newly wrapped in a beautiful and durable white vinyl siding that is offset by the black window frames on the NEW windows. Black exterior lights on the front porch and side door tie the outside together in a modern suburban look. Owner is a licensed Michigan Realtor.
