5940 Overbrook Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19131

Grand turn-of-the-century Wissahickon Schist stone residence located on one of the most architecturally significant blocks in historic Overbrook Farms. Designed by noted Philadelphia architect William F. Price and constructed by Wendel & Smith in 1891, this distinguished property offers 7 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, a front porch, and a carriage house with an au pair or in-law suite above. Set on more than half an acre of tree-lined grounds, the home presents a rare opportunity to thoughtfully restore and personalize a true West Philadelphia landmark.nnA gracious front porch leads into a formal vestibule and impressive entry foyer, where original hardwood floors, detailed millwork, and grand proportions reflect the homes historic character and craftsmanship. The main level unfolds through a series of light-filled, interconnected living spaces, including a formal living room with built-in shelving and fireplace, currently used as a billiards room; an intimate parlor centered around a curving bay window with built-in bench seating; and a spacious dining room with wainscoting and bay windows overlooking the grounds.nnAt the rear of the home, a dramatic great room addition - affectionately referred to by the family as the Brown Room - adds substantial living space with vaulted ceilings, exposed wood paneling, and a fireplace. With direct access to both the front porch and rear deck, the room serves as a natural gathering space connecting the homes indoor and outdoor living areas. Th
