Home is way more broad than house even in the literal sense, as it generally means any place in which you live, while a house is very specific, meaning a man-made building consisting of (generally) a single residential unit (as opposed to an apartment which is a building containing multiple residential units, for example). A home, even literally speaking, doesn't even have to refer to a building--it can refer to a geographical location (usually a city, for example, "playing at home" in sports refers to playing in the city where the team lives, not playing in a house).
