If you love her unconditionally, you want what's best for her.
But have you really thought about option 1? Do you just set her up and walk away? If you love her, do you continue to take care of her, or do you let her make her choice - better or worse - and let her live her own life? What if in doing so, she marries a man who is abusive and brings him into that nice house and life you've given her?
Then what do you do?
Do you stay in her life out on the perimeter? Do you try to convince her to leave him? Do you continue to provide for her even though it enables her to live with the one who hurts her?
Do you leave and not look back?
You see, her choice may very well be option 2, even though your intention is for her to have option 1.
Does her choice change how conditional or unconditional your love is?
God loves us unconditionally in that He provides for us in this life. Whether we love Him or not. Whether we do what He wants or not. He gave His Son for our redemption, not because we deserve it, but because He loves us anyway. He gave us such a gift knowing that most would not accept it.
We make the choice as to what kind of life to have. If we choose His provision, that would be option 1.
You could not have any say over what kind of life your girlfriend would have if she stopped loving you and went on to someone else. God tells us what to expect from any husband other than Himself. Satan cares nothing for us. Choosing him is option 2.
But we do the choosing.
If God did it for us, it would be like you telling your girlfriend that she could have the house, but she couldn't move on. She didn't have to love you, but she wasn't free to love someone else.
That would be sort of creepy. And controling. And not loving unconditionally.

Feel like playing god today? You aren't God and you aren't limited to those two choices.
Hell was made for rebellious angels. It was an incinerator for defective machines. God had ambitions that he built a creation that would choose to love the Creator and choose to want to live with Him.
Haven't you ever made something that then didn't work? I have, and when it was clear it wasn't going to work--into the trash it went. God gives us time to work out the kinks. Besides, while the ambition is to love Him, the objective is to save the creation. In your scenario, the girlfriend chooses the house, even if it is just a fire escape. To borrow from the Noah account, the door is open, then God shuts the door--are you then in His house or not?

This action represent you not her and I think the best choice is the choice make you feel good in good way I pick the first choice:
1) give her a house where she can live happily, nicely and peacefully forever

We always hurt the ones we love... God is just a little sadomasochistic (all those years of smiting sodomites will do that to you).
I would tell her that if she baptised herself in my blood, I'd let her enter the nice house.
If she'd stopped loving me, she'd probably be more than happy to...

If you give a "girlfriend" who doesn't love you any kind of house then I think that makes you an idiot.
