Property Description

Former School Facility with Gymnasium & Convent (717 Beacon Avenue) Exceptional opportunity to acquire a multi-building institutional property in Paulsboro, NJ. Situated on approximately 3.65 acres, this offering includes a school building, a fully functioning gymnasium, and an attached convent, all suitable for educational, community, religious, or adaptive reuse purposes. The property is currently tax exempt as it is being used for institutional purposes. The gymnasium features a 46’ x 40’ floor area with 20-foot ceilings, LED lighting, central HVAC, full-width opening exterior doors, and a camera/security system installed within the last five years. The school roof is approximately 2 years old. Heating is supplied by two boilers (dual fuel capable with diesel or gas) supported by two above-ground 500-gallon oil tanks, both serviced and resealed annually. Cooling includes four York AC units (approx. 5 years old) and window units throughout classrooms. The school building includes a commercial-style kitchen, updated electrical panel, multiple sinks, and all appliances (stove, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, grill, and ice machine). Interior layout consists of numerous large classrooms (most 31’–33’ wide), library with shelving, computer lab, science lab, faculty rooms, administrative offices, nurse’s office, and multiple restrooms. The building also includes a newer smoke detector panel, two domestic hot water heaters (40 & 50 gallons), and an interior speaker system with several newer components.Currently, the gym is active for volleyball, basketball, and weekly Sunday bingo, supporting steady community use. Ideal for schools, community centers, recreation programs, religious institutions, nonprofit expansion, or creative redevelopment. Property is being sold as-is. Buyer responsible for all inspections, permits, and any required approvals. Contact listing agent for full details and access arrangements. Former Convent Building (700 Mantua Avenue) The convent is a well-constructed two-story residential facility designed to accommodate communal living in a functional, organized layout. The second floor is arranged with six bedroom “sets,” each consisting of two individual bedrooms that share a centrally located bathroom. These sets are mirrored on either side of a main hallway, providing an efficient and private residential configuration suitable for group occupancy or dormitory-style use.The first floor includes a collection of core living and operational spaces. A chapel is located near the entrance, reflecting the building’s original religious purpose. Adjacent areas include an office suite, a pantry, a full kitchen, and a dedicated dining room, allowing the facility to support daily living, meal preparation, meetings, and gatherings. The overall layout supports both residential and administrative functions with ease.Constructed with a wood-frame structural system supported by concrete foundation walls and concrete footings, the building demonstrates traditional and durable construction. The framing consists of wood post-and-beam elements, and the exterior walls are finished in brick over masonry, providing both strength and an attractive, low-maintenance façade. The roof is finished with asphalt shingles. Insulation throughout the structure is presumed to be consistent with standard building practices and code requirements for both walls and ceilings at the time of construction. The building’s mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are typical for this property type and era, including forced-air heating, central HVAC for air conditioning, standard electrical service with a master meter, and conventional residential plumbing fixtures throughout. Interior finishes include plaster walls, decorative tile and plaster ceilings, and a mix of asphalt tile, terrazzo, and carpeted flooring. Lighting is primarily fluorescent. Fire protection is provided by smoke alarms.
