House refers to a building in which someone lives. In contrast, a home can refer either to a building or to any location that a person thinks of as the place where she lives and that belongs to her. A home can be a house or an apartment, but it could also be a tent, a boat, or an underground cave.

“At home” is right. “Home” is not a specific place; it varies from person to person. “In” is used for specific places that don't change, like “I am in the Kroger on the corner.” Since your home is not everyone's home, it would be “At home.” Hope it helped!
