My question involves real estate located in the Commonwealth of: Pennsylvania
While reviewing a separate issue, I happened to read the wording of the deed to my home. I think there might be an error in the description.
(I’ve changed the street names and I converted some of the the numerical wording into digits.)
My description:
From a T intersection (but with a curved curbstone at the intersection) with Spring Valley Road, my street, Maple Lane, is straight and based on the compass in my cell phone, runs about 220° (40° West of South) . When facing Southwest, my lot is third on the right side and begins about 300 feet from Spring Valley Road.
The deed description:
BEGINNING at a point, a corner of Lot No. 5 on said plan, on the Northwesterly side of Maple Lane (60 feet wide), said point being measured the following three courses and distances from the intersection of the Northwesterly side of Maple Lane as laid out on said plan, with the center line of Spring Valley Road (33 feet wide, proposed to be widened to 60 feet): (1) South 45°33’ 54” West, thirty feet to a point of curve on the Southwesterly proposed right of way line of Spring Valley Road; (2) in a Southerly direction on the arc of a circle having a radius of 25’ and curving to the right, the arc distance of 36.84’ to a point of tangent; (3) South forty degrees West, 295.99’ to the place of beginning; thence extending along the aforesaid Northeasterly side of Maple Lane, South forty degrees West, 165.35 feet to a point in the line of lands now or late of Smith; thence extending along the same North 49°44’28” West, 278.47 feet to a point, a corner of lands lands now or late of Jones; thence extending along the same, South forty degrees East, 164.08 feet to a point, a corner of Lot no. 5: thence extending along same, South 50 degrees East, 278.46 feet to the point and place of beginning, _ ______ BEING Lot. No. 4 on said Plan
I’m not a surveyor but shouldn’t the word “Northeasterly” be “Northwesterly? If so, should I get it fixed? How?
