administration building. This nearly rectangular parcel boasts 285.72+/- ft. of
St. frontage and a depth of 200+/- feet. The immediate area features an
established stock of older residences and commercial properties generally
exhibiting ongoing maintenance and renovation levels. This is a grand building,
believed to have been originally constructed as a school in 1869 with a
subsequent older addition, features a central hall with large stained glass overhead
Atrium, stucco and masonry exterior, a composition tile roof, and a full
basement. Inside, you'll find a front waiting area, offices, classrooms,
storage rooms, and restrooms. The northern 1,200+/- sq. ft. section, a former
gymnasium, now serves as storage and features original wood flooring. Main
floor classrooms and offices have vinyl and commercial-grade carpeting,
wood-framed doorways, and vinyl-framed windows. The unfinished basement houses
mechanicals, including a hot water boiler heater. Individual wall A/C units are
present. Exterior improvements include asphalt paved and stoned parking area
for 45 plus vehicles, concrete ramps and walkways, and yard area. The property
has been maintained. 5,000+/- sq. ft. is currently leased by Goal Digital
Academy (lease expires July 31, 2025). Zoned R-3 (Single Family Residential
District, this property is not a residence), this site offers a prime location
for development or your dream property. Public water and sanitary sewer
services are available, and the property sits outside the 100-year flood plain.
Access and parking are conveniently located off N. Washington Street. The
vibrant downtown Delaware district, with its urban-oriented shopping and
employment amenities, is located S.E. of the property. Easy access to major
transportation arteries is provided by US 23 (north-south) and E. Central Ave. /
E. William St. (east-west), which converge on the E. side of Delaware and
connect to US 36, intersecting I-71. The area is experiencing significant
redevelopment, including the RiverWest development with commercial and
apartment uses, the Food Truck Depot, and the proposed repurposing of the
former Rail Depot at East Central and Lake Street. Delaware County is one of
Ohio's fastest-growing counties, and that growth is projected to continue. Don't
miss this chance to own a piece of Delaware County!
