home
n.the place where you live and feel you belong. It is more than just a building; it is where you feel comfortable and safe.
n.the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household. Often carries a strong emotional connotation of belonging and security beyond the physical structure of a house.

“After traveling for three months, she was finally ready to return home and sleep in her own bed.”
“The concept of home often shifts from a physical location to a network of relationships as people move between different cities throughout their adult lives.”

home vs house — House is the physical structure or building; home is the place where you live and feel a sense of belonging.
When used as an adverb of direction with verbs of motion, 'home' does not take the preposition 'to'.
