It's relevant to quote from a poem by Edgar Guest:
"It takes a heap o’ livin’ in a house t’ make it home."
(It takes a heap, i.e. a lot of living in a house to make it home).
Also, Home! Sweet Home! by John Howard Payne:
Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home;
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there,
Which seek thro' the world, is ne'er met elsewhere.
Home! Home!
Sweet, sweet home!
There's no place like home
There's no place like home!
