Multi-generational living is on the rise in Australia with more people choosing to live in extended family households, whether that’s intergenerational or blended families. The pandemic fuelled the trend but other factors such as dual careers and a desire for children to bond with grandparents or accommodate a family’s changing needs are driving the movement. The key is finding a property with adequate space for the whole family to come together as well as have private spaces to live, work or seek retreat.

Alexander Phillips’ listing at 15 Surfside Parade, Clovelly is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular properties in the laidback seaside suburb and the ultimate environment for intergenerational living. Alexander says, “This beachside estate is a true once-in-a-generation opportunity with direct access to the beach and an innovative design that comprises a four-bedroom primary residence, a self-contained two-bedroom apartment and two garden studios. Set amid magnificent grounds on an incredible 752sqm approx landholding, the multi-dwelling estate captures views to the ocean with room for everyone and parking for four cars, another rarity in Clovelly.”

Overlooking the ocean and Wedding Cake Island, 28 Shackel Avenue, Clovelly is a luxurious architect-designed beach house set on a quiet cul-de-sac with pathway access down to the beach. Designed to afford flexibility of space and use, the freestanding three-storey home features four large bedrooms with the top floor devoted to a parent’s retreat plus a versatile lower level that can function as a private self-contained apartment that’s ideal for teen, in-law or au pair accommodation. With views that will never be built out and plentiful outdoor living space, this beachside beauty comes with a buyer’s guide of $8.5m.

Another unique property is the award-winning masterwork at 16 Douglas Street, Clovelly with a buyer’s guide of $6.9m. Essentially a liveable work of art, the freestanding four-bedroom home has been conceived as a luxurious family home and superb entertainer with a dream kitchen opening to a landscaped garden with a heated pool and internal access to double garaging.

Offering a taste of country like tranquility with no neighbours in sight and panoramic valley to ocean views, 34A Greville Street, Clovelly holds a commanding hilltop setting and has been custom built as a forever family home. Facing north and wrapped in lush gardens, the freestanding two-storey home’s sunlit interiors blend Hamptons style luxury with a splash of Morocco and comes with a buyer’s guide of $7.75m.
