A beautiful and interesting name I'd never seen before! 善如寺 is read Zennyōji or Zennyoji. It belongs to only about 480 people, but all the kanji are quite useful!
善 can be read よ.い, い.い, よ.く, よし.とする, or ゼン. It means virtue, goodness, or good. Specifically, it means good as in morally good, or good in an elevated context; for everyday normal things that are pleasant or agreeable, use 良い (also read よ.い or い.い).
如 means in the manner of, like, or the same as. It's read ごと.し, ジョ, or ニョ.
寺 is read てら or ジ. It's the reason that, for a second, I assumed that this house was a very, very boring-looking temple. (More on actual temple and shrine names here.)
Also, 寺 is useful as a radical too!
侍 (+亻person) = Samurai
待 (+ 彳 going-person) = Wait
持 (+ 扌 hand) = Hold, have
詩 (+ 言 word) = Poem, poetry
特 (+ 牛 cow) = Special
時 (+ 日 day) = Time
痔 (+ 疒 sickness) = Hemorrhoids
等 (+ 竹 bamboo) = Etc.
