Ways to tell them apart:

Home refers to a place of personal residence or comfort, whereas house refers to the physical structure or building.
A home can be an abstract concept, reflecting where someone feels they belong, not necessarily tied to one specific house.
You can have multiple houses, but not every house you own will feel like home.
The word home often evokes emotions, traditions, and memories, while house focuses on the material aspect.
Home is more personal and emotionally significant compared to the more factual and concrete house.
