Welcome to 1834 Farrington Rd, a classic brick AirLite row home on a quiet, tree-lined block in Overbrook Park. Built in 1949 and offering approximately 1,120 sq ft above grade, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home has the layout buyers love: a bright living room that flows into the dining area and kitchen on the main level, three bedrooms and a full hall bath upstairs, and a basement with laundry/utility space and an attached rear garage. This home needs some updating and repairs, and that is exactly the opportunity here. Bring your ideas and make it your own – it's a great fit for a first-time buyer or an investor looking for a solid rental or renovation project in a neighborhood where updated homes are in demand. Location is a big plus: you're just off City Ave with shopping, dining, and groceries a short walk away, SEPTA bus service nearby, and easy access to Overbrook Regional Rail, Route 1, and I-76 for a quick trip to Center City or the Main Line. Low taxes and no HOA.

City Avenue, located between Bala Cynwyd and Overbrook, is a commercial and residential Penn Wynne neighborhood with a high-rise skyline and a fast-moving boulevard rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at City Avenue and Monument Road, where office towers, hotel lobbies, and sidewalk-level eateries meet constant traffic and SEPTA bus stops. Landmark staples include the historic Bala Theatre, the Barnes Foundation’s Saint Joseph’s University campus gallery spaces, and the long-running City Avenue Special Services District streetscape. Architecture shifts from mid-century apartment buildings and corporate campuses to quieter side streets with stone twins. Pocket greenspaces and the Cynwyd Heritage Trail add a softer edge to the corridor. Daily life orbits around commuting, campus events, and errands along the avenue.
