The county record describes a plan to reorganize five existing deeded lots on Abigail Street into four lots. This is called a lot-line relocation. One new attached single-family home would be built on each of the four lots.
Each home would have a deck and one off-street parking space. The four parking spaces would be reached by a shared driveway rather than individual curb cuts. The record gives no home sizes, prices or buyer details.
The record does not say what is on the site now. No developer page, news story, meeting notice or hearing decision about this address turned up in the search. Nearby Abigail Street blocks have seen other new-home projects, but none of those could be tied to this site.
What it could mean nearby
- Four new homes would add modest housing in East Kensington.
- A shared driveway serving all four lots would limit curb cuts, but cars would enter and exit at one point on the street.
- Each home gets one parking space, so some residents or visitors may park on the street.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2025-01-15. No approvals, appeals or construction updates were found online. Next steps usually include city review of the lot changes, then building permits, then construction.
