4401 Sherwood Rd presents a rare opportunity for an investor to create a high-value finished product from the ground up. The property is in a fully gutted condition and ready for complete renovation, offering a clean slate to design a modern, efficient layout and bring in all new systems, finishes, and mechanicals. Situated in an established residential area with strong rental and resale demand, it benefits from proximity to major transportation routes, local amenities, and ongoing neighborhood stability. With complete design flexibility and no constraints from existing layouts, this is an ideal project for a flip, long-term rental, or strategic hold aimed at maximizing return. Sold strictly as-is, the property offers significant upside for an investor ready to execute a full vision and capture strong end-value potential.

This is a HUGE home conveniently located in the Belmont section of Philadelphia. Minutes away from St. Joe's and PCOM makes this the perfect property for an owner occupant or an investor. Upstairs there are 4 generous bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The basement is a walkout and is partially finished with a powder room, easy to add another bedroom and full bathroom. There is an attached garage and a driveway that can accommodate 2 additional cars. 1 block away from City Ave you are close to restaurants, shopping centers, grocery stores, 76, Fairmont Park and public transportation. Perfectly situated between King of Prussia and Center City with everything you need within a 15 minute ride. The house was well maintained by the previous owner and all of the mechanicals are in working order so it is move in ready but with a little imagination and elbow grease you can easily turn it into your dream home or an investors paradise, city records show this property was previously zoned as a dwelling + dental office. Other rentals in this area have been upwards of $4000+/month.
