A touch of charming village-style life, a lovely courtyard garden setting, second-to-none neighbourhood amenities, and a smartly refreshed two-level, two-bedroom townhouse - 504 is freshly updated, ready for owners to enjoy.

For those wanting a home that's so different from the ho-hum (and often depressing) offerings at this price level, here's a place to appeal to busy professionals, first-home buyers, active retirees and lock-and-leavers.

Spring blossom and rose buds in the garden courtyard will welcome you home, part of a mostly residential, freehold village offering swimming pool and gym.

Uncovered parking for one car near your door and visitor parking on site.

Your townhouse has an updated kitchen with granite-style benchtops, white-painted soft-closing joinery, gas hob, electric oven and under-bench washing machine.

Adjoining the kitchen is a roomy dining/living area, with gas fire set in a traditional mantlepiece. A panel heater adds to winter cosiness. A barn door opens to the east-facing courtyard.

Floors throughout are terracotta tiles and the strong beam and brick features of the house are contrasted by fresh white paint.

Upstairs, two double bedrooms, each with a built-in wardrobe, are privately apart, either side of the bathroom which has toilet and bidet, fully tiled shower, vanity unit and heated towel rail, and windows look out to elevated views from the bedrooms.

There's under-stair storage, a bicycle storage shed on site and lockable storage is also available for rent.

Body corporate annual fees $4989.80 - cover building insurance, rubbish collection, use of and maintenance of pool and gym, exterior building maintenance, garden, and common area upkeep. Rates are separate - $2270.44 per annum.

Small dogs are permitted at the discretion of the body corporate, but cats are not allowed.

With its unique, landscaped setting and lovely gardens and amenities, it's no wonder Monaco Village is so popular with so many types of buyers. Contact Julie Ambrose to arrange a viewing, or for more information.
