Summarizing what makes a home a home [closed]

A word you did not mention is haven.

It is defined here as:

a place where people or animals can feel safe and happy.

My home is my haven.


As the proverb goes:

Home is where the heart is.

Definitions from TheFreeDictionary.com:

  • People long to be at home.; Your home is whatever place you long to be.

  • Something that you say which means that your true home is with the person or in the place that you love most.

Perhaps this?

My home envelops me in its shelter, refreshes me with its comforts.
