At the previous two West Marlborough Township meetings, the supervisors have discussed the overgrown house at the corner of Sportsmans Lane and Street Road in response to a neighbor's concerns. The house has been vacant for several years and is bank-owned. Township engineer Al Giannantonio said he would follow up with the owner's maintenance vendor, with apparent success: on the weekend of July 11, the property was tidied up. Here are the before and after photos.
What several of us can't figure out is why the bank doesn't just sell the property. OK, it gets a little noisy sometimes with the gun club just up the road, but it's "desirable" West Marlborough Township (as the real-estate ads say) and the coveted Unionville-Chadds Ford School District.
I don't see much of a difference! And the grass will be just as long in another 4-6 weeks. Don't you just love the banks?!
ReplyDeleteAnd this is the second summer in a row this poor woman has had to come to the township and complain. What I can't figure out is why the bank doesn't just sell the property. Yeah, OK, the location isn't ideal, near the gun club, but it's WMT and UCF schools.
