Property owner says 320 Isabella renovation will keep existing footprint, adds two bathrooms
Summary
Homeowner McGregor Bell told the board he narrowed the renovation scope for 320 Isabella Avenue to fit the budget; contractor Kasey Stone is collecting subcontractor quotes and a septic-permit location has been approved. No firm project timeline was provided.
McGregor Bell updated the Washington Park Board of Commissioners on Jan. 6 on plans to renovate his house at 320 Isabella Avenue, saying he has scaled back the scope to fit a budget and will preserve the existing footprint. He told the board a potential contractor, Kasey Stone, is collecting quotes from subcontractors and the parties expect to sign a contract later this month. They plan to remove a back storage building, repair a door, add a small bathroom on the first floor and a second bathroom upstairs.
Bell said the location for a new septic system has been approved and that a septic permit application is in process, but he declined to provide a firm timeline for construction once work begins. Commissioners thanked Bell for attending and said they view keeping the existing footprint and rehabilitating the house rather than rebuilding as a positive outcome for neighborhood character.
The board took no formal vote on the project during the meeting. The town will continue to track permit approvals and any required inspections or code reviews before work proceeds.
