<p>我住的房子面對一條<strong>寬幽</strong>大街。</p>
<p>I've never seen this phrase before, but according to online dictionaries:</p>
<p>寬 = wide</p>
<p>幽 = deep in an emotional/spiritual sense</p>
<p>So I can understand the street is physically wide. But 幽 here trips me up. It doesn't mean physically deep, but rather a feeling of depth related to emotions. This is where I'm not understanding this phrase. Thanks for the help.</p>

It often appears in real estate ads. e.g. 三房一廳，空間寬闊，環境幽靜 --> 一千平方呎寬幽套房

我住的房子面對一條**寬幽**大街。

I've never seen this phrase before, but according to online dictionaries:

寬 = wide

幽 = deep in an emotional/spiritual sense

So I can understand the street is physically wide. But 幽 here trips me up. It doesn't mean physically deep, but rather a feeling of depth related to emotions. This is where I'm not understanding this phrase. Thanks for the help.

幽：secluded, dim

宽幽: wide/spacious (宽) to the point that it looks almost deserted/desolate (幽).

It sounds like the street is possibly too big for the level of traffic it was meant to make space for, so it always looks bare and very quiet (almost *too* quiet).
