I named this blog "Our House (in the middle of the street)", because when City of Everett came out to survey our lot, one edge of it extends right about to the middle of the little lane that provides access to the houses along Interurban Trail. Imagine their surprise when I build my fence!
If you look close at the lot layout image (lots 19, 20 & 21), you can actually see the little bump out from the adjacent property.
For additional wierdness, the lot plan shows 48th Street angling past our property. This isn't the case at all. 48th Street dead-ends at our lower level driveway entrance, leaving only trees & other natural surroundings next to our lot. This is because Commercial Ave was never extended through here (where you see "4-035" on the plan). The right of way was sold to the PUD and turned into Interurban Trail.
We are addressed off a street that technically doesn't exist, next to a street that also doesn't exist. Our apologies in advance to the UPS guy!

I added the pic below to show where the property line is. If you look closely, you can see the pink spray paint marking the edges that form the corner of the lot.
