"Ko³o domu" is translated as "near the house" ,but is that correct? Ko³o means circle,ring,round,wheel. So i think this means "around the house".
I would think the correct word is "blisko"

Am i right or wrong?

I only failed to se the logic cause of both my dicionaries said ko³o means circle,round,ring and wheel.
But i get a little wiser every time.

Jestem bardzo wdziêczny za pomoc. :)

"around the house".

I think if it is movement around the house then there is another word, dookolo too.

Polish geography for beginners:
ko³o Warszawy = "wheel of Warszawa" (Warszawa was an old car model, from the 60's-70's)
ko³o £odzi = "wheel of the Boat"
ko³o Poznania = "wheel of Cognition/Knowledge"
ko³o Przemy¶la = "wheel thinkng over/reflecting wheel"
ko³o Ko³obrzegu "wheel of Wheelcoast"
ko³o Pi³y = "wheel of the Saw"

(of course the true meaning of those expressions is: near Warsaw, near £ód¼, near Poznañ, near Przemy¶l, near Ko³obrzeg, near Pi³a)
