Luxury Condominium Community
For Active Adults 55 and Better

CLAYTON, A beautiful and historic landmark in this quaint community has been given new life. Abandoned more than ten years ago, by then developer Silver Lake Academy Inc., the transformation of Clayton’s former elementary/high school complex into luxury condominiums has been rejuvenated by Pine Lakes Development Group, LLC. Says Pine Lakes President Dan Vecchio, "it is our intention to create a condominium revitalization which will be the jewel of not only Clayton, but the entire region."

Situated in the privately gated site on Clayton-Aura road are 49 elegant condominiums for sale to individuals and couples aged 55 or older. Upon entering the complex, one is greeted by the columned arched entranceway leading into a marble-floored foyer. The impressiveness is continued by the sconced lighting in the halls and an elevator servicing all four floors. Upon entering the individual units one is captivated by the airy openness of the unit. With their open floor plan, elegant master baths and expansive great rooms, the condominium units are sure to be a delight for any active adult seeking a quiet retreat from the bustle of the outside world. Residents can relax in their personalized home with their choice of color scheme, appliances, counter-tops, carpeting or tile.

For those adults seeking to bring their active lifestyle home with them, the complex is expected to feature a resort style fitness center and clubhouse. Anticipated amenities include rowing machines, treadmills, fitness-club style weight machines, and a sauna in each locker room. After showering, residents may choose to socialize in the fireplaced club room or engage in cards or billiards with other residents.

Vecchio saw the facility as an opportunity to save a community landmark while offering true luxury living to active seniors, 55 and over. Says Vecchio, "once I drove past the building and saw that such a beautiful structure had been abandoned I had to know more. After I was able to walk through the building and see its immense potential I was amazed, the complex is remarkably unique in its grandeur and design in this area ." Jeanne Schoellkopf, 62, a former teacher at the school who now works in the borough’s construction office, said the building had a storied past as a sending school for several Gloucester County communities, and that residents around the borough are excited about its future. "There was always something magical about it," she said. "I just knew somebody would come out and save the lady."

Silver Lake Academy House, at 100 Clayton-Aura Road, is nestled in the quiet wooded community of Clayton in desirable Gloucester County, just moments from Rowan University and Route 55. With starting prices in the low $100,000's and an easy 25 minute commute to Philadelphia the units are sure to sell fast. For more information or a personal tour, please call (856)881-1848.
