道を行ったところ meaning "just down the road"?


In the sentence

> うちの前の道を行ったところの家の男の子ったら、うっかりして指に《スーパーグルー》をくっつけてしまって、その指で鼻をさわったのよ

I would translate this as

> There is a boy _just down our street_ , who carelessly got glue on his
> finger and then picked his nose.

I presume ったら is some sort of colloquial way of saying "there was". Though I'm
not sure. Regardless, I am having serious trouble interpreting 道を行ったところの家

But my guess on 道を行ったところの家 feels shaky at best. How should one break this
grammar down? Why do we need の? Is 道を行ったところ a relative clause? Can we also say
things like

  * 店を入ったところのポスター  
The poster just inside the shop

  * 家を出たところの小包  
The parcel just outside the house




The translation is fine.

Grammatically, it is just _Location Expression + の + A_ meaning _A located
in.._. They are the same as 新宿の店 (shop at Shinjuku) or そこの本 (book there). This
[dictionary entry](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/word/en/%E3%81%AE/#je-58755)
lists 所在 explicitly as a meaning of の.

For the sentence, the location expression is うちの前の道を行ったところ, which literally
means _the place where (you arrive when) you go down the street in front of
us/our house_. So, _just down the street_.

店を入ったところのポスター is fine, but 家を出たところの小包 sounds strange to me. Probably it is
because describing _at the door_ as _going out of the house_ is just strange
(in English, you'd just say _there is a parcel at the door_ , not really _if
you go out of the house, you'll find a parcel_.). ドアのところの小包/家の外の小包 is fine.
Also, 家を出たところ **にある** 小包 is acceptable though still odd. (BTW what do you call
置き配 in English if I may ask?)
