dwelling place
Where one resides
A dwelling place is where someone lives or resides.
The term has a slightly formal or literary quality, often appearing in legal contexts, religious texts, or poetic writing rather than everyday conversation.
The cabin served as their dwelling place for three winters.
While house or home works fine in most situations, dwelling place emphasizes the act of inhabiting a space rather than the structure itself.
