numbered 345A. It sits between houses numbered 345 and 347. The lots for all three houses are the same. Why does the home I am in contract in have an A attached to it?

FIRST ANSWER

Dear Kenny:

There are several reasons why this could have happened. The most logical reason would be if at one time there could have been one home on all three of those lots and it was developed and subdivided at a later date... they may have had no choice but to add the "A" to give it a legitimate mailing address. If I knew the exact address including the street I may be able to give you a more definitive answer. It may take a little getting used to, but I wouldn't worry about it.

The real legal address of the property is the block and lot number.

Good luck with your purchase!
