Ugh I forgot the product name, but Ubiquity has devices specifically for this kind of networking. You can get two nano things outside to bridge the network directly to a single machine or a switch. They also have bigger dishes for even longer distances, but the cheapest ones would be perfect for shooting across the street.
It would be more expensive than a router; but it would work way better than just doing a wifi bridge between two routers that weren't meant for that range or through both sets of walls
100% do this.

I fought this battle at every price point and the nanobeams are absolutely the way to go. Extremely easy and reliable.
I wish I'd started with them!
It's the building to building bridge. I usually recommend Mikrotik wireless wire for better cost and throughput.
