ran out from the house vs walked off of the house

Both phrases are not commonly used in English. The prepositions 'out from' and 'off of' are redundant and unnecessary in these contexts. A more concise and natural way to express leaving a location would be 'ran out of the house' or 'walked out of the house.'
