Holman, J. *

—Prudential Property and Casualty Insurance Company, the plaintiff in a declaratory judgment action below, appeals a determination that the term "property damage" as used in two insurance policies issued to Joseph and Julie Lawrence, the defendants below, was ambiguous and that Prudential was therefore obligated to provide coverage and to defend the Lawrences when neighbors brought suit alleging that the Lawrences' new home obstructed their view. Prudential also appeals the award of attorney's fees in connection with the coverage determination. We affirm.
