Not really, but a native speaker would eventually figure it out. Are you trying to say something like: "he lived at Number 725, the last house on the street" or "number 725 is the last house on the right-hand side of the street".

Ok, I get it, Number 725. (thx JP)
I used to live in the suburbs, so dead end streets are everywhere.
However, if you live in the city, "end of the street" may mislead other people unless the street has a dead end close by.

If you are standing in front of a house with address 333 on 5th ave and you are asking someone who just came out of that house, "Can you please tell me where # 725 is". He said " number 725 is at the end of the street". It makes perfect sense. He didn't ask which side of the street the house is on.

You're correct.
I brought up "side of the street” in an additional question to the poster.
His original question was:
Does “House 725 is at the end of the street” make sense to a native?
My response was “Not really, but a native speaker would eventually figure it out”.
“Number” did not appear in his question nor did “side of the street” – they were in m
