'House' is an actual single building with bedrooms and such. 'Home' is much broader--possibly a condominium, a duplex, a cardboard box, a dorm room, a shack, etcetera. 'Home' can also be an intangible place where one feels safe, secure, happy, comfortable, etcetera.

A house is a building, a structure of some kind. It can be a ranch house or a small cottage or a Victorian House. Houses come in all sizes and shapes.
Your Home is a House
My Home is a House,
Your Home is where you live with your family. You say"I live at HOME with my father and mother or my husband or my children." You do NOT say, "I live at House with my mother and father."
I think everybody else is explaining it pretty well too.

A house is traditionally considered a dwelling with certain identifiable characteristics (two-story, Craftsman, Ranch, Earth-Contact). They are best described in cold, passionless terms.
Homes, on the other hand, are best described in an emotional context. Homes trigger images of family gatherings, holidays, play, growing up, celebrations, graduations, grief, joy , love and longing. Homes give a sense of belonging. Homes anchor a person to a place and time.

Any building can be a house. A home is where a person or family live and make it their own.

Home is a house or a flat / apartment where you live in, especially with your family. Family makes a house a home.
HOUSE is a BUILDING for people (usually one family) to live in & make their home of.
This is more or less like 'going to bed & going to THE bed'. 'Going to School & Going to THE School'
Particularly a woman & child / children make a house a home..
House a place to live.
Home, a place of living.
