Schools, the South Hill Mall (and all of the shopping and dining that surrounds it), the Washington State Fairgrounds, Highway 512 access, and so much more is all less than 5 minutes from home. Another perk of the location is the fact that you’re just 7 minutes from the Puyallup Station where you can hop on the Sounder Train to Tacoma, Seattle, and many stops in between and beyond.

Easy One-Level Living in Orting’s Village Green Community

Wonderfully spacious and shining like new, this 2006-built rambler offers the hassle-free lifestyle you’ve been dreaming about! Nestled in Orting’s Village Green community, the HOA takes care of lawn maintenance and common areas so you can spend more time on the activities you truly love. This home’s 1,438-square-foot layout offers plenty of room to spread out, and alongside open-concept living you’ll find 2 bedrooms and 1.75 baths, plus a 2-car garage that includes storage space/loft. The ideal opportunity for a first-time homebuyer or someone looking to downsize awaits with this move-in ready Orting home-sweet-home! Located at 1112 Van Ogle Lane NW Orting, WA 98360 and no more than 5 minutes to Downtown Orting, parks, golf, schools, grocery shopping and more, this Village Green home is listed for $469,000. 

This home is technically designated as “Townhouse/Rowhouse,” as this one-level home shares a wall with another home while offering the lifestyle of a single-family home. Eye-catching curb appeal includes neat landscaping that is sure to inspire pride in ownership each time you arrive home, and the front door opens up to reveal a warm and welcoming floor plan that seamlessly flows. 

The layout makes it easy to spend quality time with loved ones, and it’s the perfect setup for entertaining a crowd. Holiday hangouts, get-togethers, and special occasions are all on the horizon! The cook is always part of the conversation thanks to the open kitchen; the smart design here means there’s tons of room for organizing your kitchen essentials in beautiful maple cabinets, and there’s ample meal prep space on gleaming granite counters. Stainless steel appliances round out this dialed-in kitchen. Plus, bar-style counter seating along with the adjacent dining area provide laid-back options for gathering, and outdoor access makes it easy to pop outside to grill up dinner. 

Newer solid surface flooring unfolds into the living area, where a stately gas fireplace serves as the centerpiece. Discover crisp white trim work, a nook for a TV, and direct outdoor access that expands your living space even more. 

Each bedroom offers flexibility, and the primary suite is its own special haven of rejuvenation. Soaring ceilings and natural light let this retreat feel extra grand, and the large walk-in closet comes complete with a built-in storage system so you can move right in and unpack on day one. The upgraded 5-piece bath is also not to be missed—a fresh aesthetic lets daily routines feel all the more relaxing! Additionally, this home includes a newer gas hot water heater and a new HVAC so you’ll stay comfy no matter what the weather may bring. 

While this home’s outdoor setting is wonderfully low-maintenance, you still have outdoor space to curate to your liking. The fenced yard and patio can be transformed into stylish living areas where you can bask in the fresh air, try your hand at container gardening, and have fun hosting guests out in the sunshine.
