This old house sitting right at the edge of Lancaster Avenue in Berwyn in Easttown Township, on the border of Tredyffrin I believe across the road, has never looked good in my memory. But before this, the property was at least somewhat tidy.

But the property changed hands and then the chatter was maybe Mercedes of Devon was going to do something with it? But obviously that never happened. 

For months, it had cars, I think even a camper van, and a boat at one point sitting there. Obviously somebody was renting it or something at that point in time.

Well now it’s just sitting there and the weeds are getting bigger. There are weeds growing up through what’s left of the driveway and it’s just sitting there. There are viable things on either side of this property so I imagine it’s starting to get difficult being able to see to get out because of the weeds and that’s a very busy stretch of Lancaster Avenue anyway.

The address is 1038 Lancaster Avenue.

Anyway, it has an absentee landlord and/or property owner it seems? it would be nice if they could keep the weeds and stuff cut while they decide whatever it is they are doing with that property.

I think there is also some debate as to whether that is a dilapidated historic structure underneath all the bad asphalt or asbestos siding whatever it is.

When you look the address up on Google and you pull up photos of this house over the years, it’s been failing for many many years. Is it salvageable? I don’t know. Could it have a viable use? Again I don’t know. All I do know is while the property owner from Saratoga Springs, NY or whatever decides what they’re doing, it would be nice if they took care of it .

Much like the property that was supposed to be developed further east I guess it is where Handels originally was, these people that own these properties need to keep them somewhat tidy while they are deciding what they are doing. I totally get that.

This is a very weird economic time and must be really weird for commercial property owners or people who want to build anything, but there is no harm in properties staying tidy is there?

The screenshots are from former real estate listings. There is nothing current that I could see. And although I do believe somebody lived there on the property at one time I think it was also some kind of a store at one time.

Stay cool thanks for stopping by.
