About this home
Set on one of the greenest, most picturesque blocks in historic Overbrook Farms, 5939 Drexel Road offers the perfect blend of architectural pedigree and investment potential. Built around the turn of the century by University of Pennsylvania–trained architects, this brick and stucco beauty sits on over half an acre of level ground and is currently configured as a six-unit rental, including a fully finished carriage house apartment, a rare setup in this classic neighborhood.
Whether you’re an investor seeking a stable income property or someone envisioning the restoration of a grand Philly residence, this property delivers flexibility and history in equal measure.
Enjoy being steps from the Overbrook train station for a quick Center City commute and just minutes from City Avenue’s shops and restaurants. Think Honeygrow, Corner Bakery, and historic Bala Tavern, along with easy access to the Main Line and Saint Joseph’s University. Overbrook Farms’ lush, tree-lined streets and signature early 20th-century architecture make it one of Philly’s most cherished hidden gems.
Opportunities like this don’t come around often, a property with deep roots, timeless appeal, and endless potential, ready for its next chapter in one of Philadelphia’s most storied enclaves.
