Description

Discover a rare opportunity to own a distinguished historic estate in the heart of Overbrook Farms. Set on 0.58 acres beneath a canopy of mature trees and lush foliage, this exceptional stone Victorian invites you into a world where timeless craftsmanship and quiet elegance endure. The property encompasses three independent, fully functional living quarters—an expansive primary residence, a complete secondary dwelling, and a carriage house—together offering remarkable versatility for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, or private retreat spaces.

Inside, the home showcases exquisite Victorian-era details, including stained-glass windows, rich hardwood floors, elegant wainscoting, and classic period millwork that infuse each room with warmth, history, and architectural refinement. The primary and secondary residences together feature seven bedrooms and six full baths, allowing the property to function either as two fully independent homes or—as originally designed—a grand single-family residence of impressive scale.

The carriage house enhances both the beauty and functionality of the estate, providing a charming, self-contained space ideal for guests, creative work, or quiet personal use. Throughout the property, mature landscaping, natural privacy, and the feel of an intimate woodland enclave create an atmosphere rarely found within city limits.

Despite its serene setting, the location offers exceptional convenience. A six-minute walk leads to the Overbrook Station on the Paoli–Thorndale Regional Rail line, placing Center City just 15 minutes away. Also, the A-rated Lankenau Hospital is within a mile of the house. Many neighborhood amenities are easily walkable, while major shopping destinations and several of Philadelphia’s renowned colleges are only a short drive from the property. Additional highlights include off-street parking for at least three vehicles and the enduring appeal of one of the city’s most picturesque and historic neighborhoods.

Blending historic elegance with modern livability, this remarkable property stands as one of Overbrook Farms’ most compelling offerings—a private, tree-lined haven with architectural pedigree and extraordinary flexibility.
