Welcome to 156 Overhill Road, a beautifully updated and thoughtfully reimagined home in the heart of the sought-after College Park neighborhood of Bala Cynwyd. This is a home that has been carefully improved over the years with an emphasis not simply on updating spaces, but on creating a comfortable, functional and welcoming place to live, gather and grow. From the moment you enter, the home feels bright, open and inviting. Natural light fills nearly every room, while the open floor plan creates an easy connection between the main living spaces and offers wonderful flexibility for today's lifestyles. Whether entertaining, working from home, finding a quiet place to unwind or simply enjoying everyday life, the layout adapts beautifully. At the heart of the home is a completely renovated kitchen featuring upscale stainless steel appliances, updated countertops and flooring, and a professional-grade exhaust hood. The adjoining family room was thoughtfully customized with built-in shelving and desk space and a beautiful marble fireplace, creating a warm and inviting gathering space. Refinished hardwood floors, recessed lighting, automated window treatments, replacement windows and custom storage are just some of the many improvements found throughout. The thoughtful updates continue upstairs, where multiple bedrooms feature custom California Closets and the fourth bedroom has been extensively customized as a home office while retaining the flexibility for a variety of uses. All 2.5 bathrooms have been updated, including the primary bath with a walk-in shower. The comprehensively renovated lower level adds even more flexible living, recreation and storage space with recessed lighting and a full wall of custom closets. Outside, extensive landscaping and exterior improvements complement a private backyard with an in-ground pool featuring updated equipment and a custom cover—an ideal setting for summer afternoons, entertaining or simply relaxing at home. Rather than a series of disconnected renovations, the home reflects years of thoughtful planning, customization and attention to how each space is actually lived in. The result is a bright, open and exceptionally versatile home in one of Bala Cynwyd's most established communities, ready for its next chapter.

Bala Cynwyd, located between City Avenue and the Schuylkill River, is a residential and commercial Bala Cynwyd neighborhood with a hillside setting and a riverfront edge. The neighborhood reads as classic Main Line: stone colonials, mid-century apartment towers, and office campuses along City Avenue. The character concentrates around City Avenue at Bala Avenue, where storefront plazas, cafés, and everyday services meet steady commuter traffic. Community pillars include the historic Bala Theatre, the Barnes Foundation’s Saint-Gaudens sculptures at the former Merion campus, and the Cynwyd Heritage Trail’s trailhead. River views and the Manayunk Bridge frame walks and bike rides. SEPTA’s Cynwyd Line station adds a rail link in a compact footprint.
