### Agent Description
Completely remodeled and move-in ready, this 3 bedroom ranch at 1544 Royer St. offers a prime location on the east side of Des Moines just south of Grand View University. Enjoy the convenience of being within walking distance to campus, parks, and nearby amenities while still having quick access to the rest of the metro. This home has been fully updated from top to bottom, making it an excellent option for owner-occupants, students, or investors alike. The main level features a functional layout with a bright living space and three comfortable bedrooms, all complemented by fresh finishes throughout. The kitchen is equipped with brand new appliances and offers a clean, modern feel. Major improvements include new siding, new windows, roof, and a new furnace and HVAC system, providing peace of mind for years to come. With all the big-ticket items already completed, this home is truly turnkey and ready for immediate possession. Whether you're looking for a low-maintenance personal home or a strong rental opportunity near campus, this property delivers outstanding value in a highly convenient location. This lot features access from both the North and South, so the massive/oversized 2 stall garage/shop is a huge amenity! Easy to show, immediate occupancy available, please call an agent today for a tour.
