The word "house" could be used in a generic sense for any kind of building, even the Temple.
Here is the thing, whatever kind of building it was, it held at least 120 people not to mention the possibility those unbelieving Jews that confronted Peter. That is a very large room.
They were all sitting in that room when this happened
Act 2:2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
Then when those unbelievers spoke up about this event the Apostles all stood up to represent the new faith
Act 2:14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.
It also had to be located where all those visiting Jews, there for the day of Pentecost celebration, could hear of this event
