St William of York is a religious and educational facility comprising five separate sections:  a one-story 3,512 SF sanctuary, with seating for ±200, built 1914; a two-story 3,693 SF rectory; a  three-story 6,812 SF parish center (originally a convent), built 1947; a  two-story 22,307 SF school, built 1947; and a  one-story 3,836 SF gymnasium and kitchen, built 1951. This ±40,160 SF complex is allowed by zoning to operate as a primary and secondary education facility.  The property is also ideal for a religious buyer who desires to incorporate a school and/or childcare in its ministry. The two-level school wing, built in 1947, includes nine sunny classrooms, a gym, and kitchen. The parish center can be adapted for additional classrooms, meeting rooms, administrative offices, and reception area. The rectory can also be adapted for offices, classrooms, or additional spaces for ministry. The sanctuary, which seats under 200, can be used for worship, or could be adapted for use as an auditorium or large multipurpose room. The church has recently closed, and parts of the school are currently under a short-term lease.  Overall, the building is in average condition and could be improved with some cosmetic updates and the installation of central air.  Located on the busy corner of Edmondson Ave and Cooks Ln, the ±1.69-acre property boasts ±382 feet and ±405 feet of frontage, with 33,702 vehicles per day on Route 40/Edmondson Ave (2024 SHA). There are ±65 paved parking spaces. HVAC is gas-fired boiler heat and a small percentage of the property with central A/C and window units.  The roofing is a combination of pitched slate, asphalt, and flat rubber membrane (may be a leak in school roof). Flooring is largely terrazzo, with some wood and carpeting. The property is inventoried with MHIP as B-5100.  Not available for lease or lease-to-own. The seller will remove religious items (sacred goods) from the property before sale, including sanctuary windows.  The property will be sold as is, where is. Tours are available with registration and qualification: name, address, mortgage pre-qualification letter, and bank statement demonstrating funds available for deposit and closing.
