Home to one of the east coast’s most sheltered beaches, Clovelly is a relaxed seaside town reminiscent of an English seaside village with its calm waters and sunny rock platforms but luckily without the climate. The quiet, laidback cousin of Bondi and Bronte, Clovelly has a strong community feel and a lively shopping hub with every daily amenity from artisan bakeries to alfresco cafes and delis. Life in Clovelly is centred around the beach and surf club and is somewhat of a wellness hub with yoga and Pilates studios as well as beautiful coast walks that skirt along the ocean.

Our beachside specialist Gavin Lewis says, “A boutique beachside suburb with a relaxed feel, Clovelly is a wonderful place to live, raise a family and enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle. Small in size but big on lifestyle, there are less than 5,000 residences in Clovelly and, as families tend to lay down roots, it’s one of the most tightly held beachside suburbs in the east. The good news is that we have listed two amazing family homes with knockout views that are easy walking distance to the beach action and a beautifully renovated boutique apartment on the doorstep of picturesque Gordons Bay with views to Wedding Cake Island.”

The cascading contemporary masterpiece at 39 Knox Street, Clovelly is set on a commanding corner block with panoramic ocean views as a backdrop to daily life and a choice of living areas making it perfect for growing families. Crowned with a top floor parents’ retreat with a breathtaking ocean panorama, the four-bedroom home is perfect for entertaining with a sunny mosaic-tiled pool and double garage just up from Clovelly Public School and St Anthony’s Catholic Primary.
