across from

(Shop A)....... (Shop B)...... (Shop C)
----------------------- street -------------------
(My house)

I think you can say "My house is across from Shop A."

How do you say when you want to tell how to get to your house from Shop B/C? Can you say like these?
My house is across from Shop B.
My house is across from Shop C.

I'd like to learn what the word "across from" can mean. Does it only suggest that there is something "in front of" something else after crossing?

Thank you.

If you are in front of shop C, I might say Go along the street to shop A. My house is across the street from there. Or I might say My house is roughly across the street from shops A, B and C.
