Finding a 3 bedroom home with 2 full bathrooms, a basement AND a 2 car garage under $160,000 is getting harder every day. That's exactly why 18233 Ruth deserves a look. The layout is already here. Hardwood floors are hiding beneath the carpet upstairs, while the basement offers incredible flexibility with a second kitchen, full bathroom, living space, laundry area, and flex room. Whether you're buying your first home, investing, or simply looking for a property you can update over time, this is an opportunity to build equity instead of paying for someone else's renovations. A fully fenced backyard, detached 2 car garage, and convenient location near I-94 complete the package.
