The faces behind Fitzroy’s oldest established vintage design collective Smith Street Bazaar, Eddy Opmanis and Eryca Green, are selling their creative Brunswick pad with a $1.8m-$1.95m pride guide.

The four-bedroom house at 27 De Carle St has been in Mr Opmanis’ family for three generations and undergone three renovations.

The most recent was 12 years ago.

Specialising in European and Australian mid-century and modern design, both Mr Opmanis and Ms Green’s passion for creativity has seeped into their home’s interiors.

“It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, the design is an eclectic mix – but anyone that sees it appreciates it,” Mr Opmanis said.

The home has gone through three renovations in its lifetime, most recently 12 years ago.

“The openness of the home and the garden is a huge attraction, you don’t feel like you’re living in Brunswick.

“My parents purchased our next-door neighbour’s driveway in the 1970s and extended the land.

“The home was first purchased by my grandmother – when my father got married, he purchased it off her.

“When he passed away, my brother purchased it, and then I purchased it off him and moved in.”

The house has received plaudits in several publications

Mr Opmanis said although he was sad to part ways with the home, he was excited for the next adventure.

“Erica has purchased an apartment in Carlton and I’ve just purchased an old bank in Clifton Hill,” he said.

The couple are planning to renovate the building.

“It has round windows at the front, was built in 1890 and was the State Bank of Melbourne,” Mr Opmanis enthused.

“It has a residence upstairs and a shop downstairs. I’m looking forward to the future.”

The garage has been converted into an office studio.

There’s also a pair of chic styled bathrooms.

Jellis Craig’s Dylan Francis said he wanted to bring some funk to the market when launching the house’s advertising campaign.

“The home has a lot of sentimental value to the current owners,” Mr Francis said.

“Given that it is an unusual, funky and well-designed home, it’s attracting many different buyers.

“As of last week, I believe it was the most viewed property for realestate.com.au for Brunswick.”

The kitchen consist of marble and stainless-steel materials.

Mr Francis said the home, which backs onto Sydney Rd, would suit a young family or someone looking to upsize.

“There is a lot of positivity and sentiment around the market right now,” he added.

“The hold on interest rates and possible talk of cuts later this year is a great sign of the things to come.”
