Explanation:
Hi Valerie,

Your English phrase is translated into conversational Tagalog as follows:

"Ang bahay ay nasa bandang kaliwa, lampas ng post office/koreo, humigit-kumulang anim na daang talampakan mula sa Ga___ (gate?)"

Please refer to the word-per-word translation:

Ang bahay = "the house"
ay nasa = "is in"
bandang kaliwa = "left side" (right side would mean "bandang kanan")
lampas ng = "past the"
post office = post office (also called koreo in native Tagalog)
humigit-kumulang = "more or less"
anim na daang = "600"
talampakan = "feet"
mula sa = "from the"
Ga___ = Ga(te?) [...or whatever placemarker you would like to use]

Hope this helps!

agree  Marcus Malabad: good answer, Jake, but do you know anyone who'd say 'talampakan' these days? ;-)

  -> I beg to disagree, Marcus, but "talampakan" is more often used than "piye", (used almost only at ports, piers, etc.)Even TV reporters use "talampakan". However, it is also common to use the original English word, but that's not straight Tagalog :-)
