2547 Collins St
Description
Inside, the main level offers a bright, open-concept layout filled with natural light, exposed brick, wide-plank engineered hardwood floors, and discreet basement access tucked beneath the stairwell. A transom...Welcome to 2547 Collins Street, a thoughtfully renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath home on a quiet street just steps from POPS Dog Park and Playground and within easy walking distance of some of the area’s best coffee shops, breweries, bars, restaurants, and public transit—with quick access to I-95.
Inside, the main level offers a bright, open-concept layout filled with natural light, exposed brick, wide-plank engineered hardwood floors, and discreet basement access tucked beneath the stairwell. A transom window at the front entry and a rear sliding glass door create an airy, seamless flow from living space to kitchen and outdoors. The kitchen features updated appliances, cabinetry, and a flexible nook ideal for dining, a home bar, or work area.
Upstairs, you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms with custom built-ins and redesigned closets, along with a completely remodeled bathroom. The basement provides ample storage and includes a full-sized washer and dryer and upgraded mechanicals, including a high-efficiency furnace and a newly installed central air conditioning system.
Outdoors is where this property truly sets itself apart. The expansive fenced yard sits on a full-sized, double-wide lot, created by combining the former adjacent parcel (2545 Collins Street) into a single deeded property. This rare outdoor space offers endless possibilities: create a private garden oasis, add gated off-street parking, expand the existing home, or explore redevelopment opportunities. A horizontal wood fence provides privacy, and the secure parcel mailbox attached to the front of the house adds peace of mind for package deliveries.
With all-new windows and doors, modern systems, practical renovations throughout, and unmatched flexibility thanks to the oversized lot, this is a truly turnkey property in a high-demand location. Whether you’re looking for space to grow or an investor or developer seeking long-term upside, 2547 Collins Street is a rare find—one that won’t last long.
