The difference between "House" and "Home"

"House" and "Home" ... What's the difference?

A house is a building

"I live in a house, you live in a house, on my street there are lots of houses..."

But "home" has more emotion, more feeling! It's where you live, but not JUST that.

"I live in New York, but my home will always be in London"

So not necessarily where you live, it's where you feel comfortable and happy living/staying.
