Can't answer as a scholar but use 'next' or 'by' in A. If that sentence is grammatical, it sure is awkward. B reads ok but I'd go "...

0b) is better than a), but the more idiomatic sentences would have used the expression 'next-door neighbor' or something similar.

I live next door to my brother.
My brother's next-door neighbor lives there.
