Famed for its sheltered waters and friendly atmosphere, Clovelly has transformed from a sleepy seaside village into one of the most desirable addresses for young families in the east. Tucked away between Bronte and Coogee, Clovelly’s laidback beach culture, clifftop parklands and community feel make it a great place to raise a family with the area’s ongoing transformation attracting a much younger demographic. The cafes, organic bakeries and boutiques dotted along Clovelly Road make day to day living easy while local institutions such as The Cloey Hotel serve up top notch pub food along with its ocean views. We have two fantastic properties to check out on Saturday, both that are perfectly located to enjoy Clovelly’s surf lifesaving, ocean swimming and snorkelling lifestyle.

Jason Pantzer and Nick Quilkey’s listing at 37 Clifton Road, Clovelly is set on an unusually deep 303sqm block an easy walk down to Clovelly Beach, the ocean pool and Surf Life Saving Club. The 6.5m-fronted semi has been held in one family for nearly 30 years and offers a superb opportunity to buy into one of Clovelly’s premier pockets. Jason will be calling the auction on site tomorrow, Saturday 20th, at 11.15am with a pre-auction preview from 10.45am so, if you’d like to get a feel for the auction process, come along and check out the action.

One street closer to the beach is Alexander Phillips and David Tyrrell’s listing at 3A Keith Street, Clovelly. The sun-filled contemporary home features a parent’s retreat, rumpus room and lush tropical gardens and will be open for inspection tomorrow just after Clifton Road from 12.15pm to 12.45pm with a special Sunday open home from 12.30pm to 12.45pm. David says, “A spacious four-bedroom layout and fantastic location with no streets to cross to the beach make this a great home for families looking for an active outdoor lifestyle. It’s freestanding to the north side and set on a fantastic street a short walk to Clovelly Public School and buzzing beachside cafes and parks so you can enjoy Clovelly’s summer lifestyle all year round.”

New to the market and open for the first time tomorrow, 30 Ocean Street, Clovelly occupies a prized oceanfront setting on an enormous 490sqm approx parcel of land.
