Thanks for the replies. Just for the fun of it I've loaded up an arial view for you to look at.

The land is outlined in yellow. The bluebox is not for sale , and the red dot is where the house is.

3rd street does not extend all the way to the land, I just drew in the additional line as a reference point for my wife.
