«Passing along the street near her corner»: The young man is walking along the street. His walking is described from two perspectives: he is near the corner and is headed for a certain house. «Corner», in reference to streets, is the place where two roads or streets join or intersect.

«Taking the road to her house»: We may need to make clear what «her house» refers to. No reference has been made to a woman since verse 5, and there it was not a particular woman who was being spoken of but any adulterous female. Accordingly, it may be necessary to identify «her house». Good News Translation does this with “where a certain woman lived.” Bible en français courant says “where one of his women lived.”
