Re: In pleasant contrast
No house numbers there; in fact, there's a phrase "living in the numbers" referring to urban living, where the houses have numbers.
Contrasting this was the address of a colleague of my father, who for a good while lived at $VERYSMALLVILLAGE 14. As I recall there were three more or less distinct roads of which one partly unpaved, but apparently no one had seen the need to name those in any way, and just consecutively numbering the houses was the result.
