Unit 402, 2/10 Quiet Woman Way, Monaco, Nelson

Garden setting, first-home winner!

Smell the roses at the front door and the freshly cut grass of the Village Green - there's a romance about life at the unique Monaco Village, and here's a two-bedroom home to enjoy it all.
This is a cottage with the rarity of a small garden at the front and a pleasant patio at the back, bathed in afternoon sunshine and looking out over the Green.
In this charming, secure setting, the two-level home represents excellent entry-level home buying, especially with all the village amenities.
And there's the opportunity to easily add value.
In the style of the village, the cottage is sturdily built with superior quality materials, including hardwood beams, solid walls, and terracotta floors.
Open plan living comprising kitchen, dining, and living space has French doors opening to the rear patio where there's the privacy of a wall separating you from a neighbour. Here you'll enjoy the last of the setting sun, leaving fantastically vivid colours of dusk.
You also have easy access to a village patio area beneath a large pergola with dedicated tables and seating. It's like an extended entertainment area to enjoy with visitors.
Inside, the cottage is comfortable and in good condition, enjoying the warmth of a gas fire as well as wall panel heaters in the lounge and each of the two upstairs bedrooms.
The kitchen is very serviceable as is - complete with dish washer and ceramic cook top - but will benefit from any refurbishment.
Morning or afternoon sun warms the northern or southern facing bedrooms, each a double.
Between them is the bathroom with impressive, full height tiling, generous shower, toilet, basin, and heated towel rail.
The home has a single, unallocated car space near your door.
As for the complex itself, this is no retirement village! It's increasingly owner occupied by a mix of first home buyers, professionals in their 30s upwards, through to active retirees.
Couples or singles will see much to enjoy about the village life, with pool, gym, BBQ facilities, bike storage and the Brick Eatery.
