The sheltered waters of Clovelly, nestled between the surf at Bronte and Coogee, are loved for the calm waters, crystal-clear aquatic reserve and concrete sunbathing platforms giving it the look of a stony Italian beach but with the beautiful Australian climate making outdoor living a year-round pursuit. Renowned for its laidback lifestyle, gorgeous ocean pool and scenic coast walk, Clovelly is the perfect spot for those wanting to live away from the hustle and bustle but within easy reach of the action. Waterfront homes have always been the ultimate lifestyle choice for Sydneysiders but front row seats to the ocean spectacle are incredibly rare especially in areas of outstanding natural beauty like Clovelly and demand is likely to swell.

Alexander Phillips has listed two beachside beauties in Clovelly that offer an unbeatable lifestyle, including a landmark oceanfront reserve property at the tip of the Clovelly headland that is offered for the first time in almost a century. With a 26m frontage to Gordons Bay and awe-inspiring unobstructed views over the ocean and Wedding Cake Island to the Malabar Headland, 20 Victory Street, Clovelly stands sentinel on over 500sqm with direct access to the Bronte-Coogee Aquatic Reserve and coast walk.

Alexander says, “In the same family since it was built in the 1930s, this unique P&O style property is a true once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure an incredible oceanfront home with views that will never be built out and nature at the doorstep. Properties of this sized and calibre are rarely listed for sale and the potential here is truly extraordinary with front-row seats to the ocean spectacle and a highly adaptable six-bedroom layout.”

On the other side of the bay, 4/1 Eastbourne Avenue, Clovelly features direct access to the beach from its secluded setting. One of only four in a boutique collection, the ground-floor apartment is spread over 120sqm with a private entry and huge entertainer’s deck giving it a beach-cottage feel. Tastefully renovated blending classic Art Deco charm with contemporary flair, this tranquil seaside sanctuary offers a superb opportunity to secure your own slice of beachside paradise.

Thomas Heath has a bright and breezy beach pad on the market at 4/1 Blackwood Avenue, Clovelly. In an upgraded security block of nine, the two-bedroom apartment makes a perfect entry into Clovelly with an ocean outlook, no common walls and a balcony off the main bedroom. In a charming beachside pocket at the quiet northern side of Clovelly, 250m to the beach, the boutique apartment is just footsteps to the coast walk and scenic marine parkland.

This week the sales team secured 3 sales with an average price of $1.5m and listed 35 new properties and the management team secure 14 tenancies and listed 15 new properties for lease.
