בית is a common word meaning both 'house' (a building) and 'home' (where you live). The stress is on the second syllable: ba-YIT. To say 'at home' use 'בבית' and to say 'to home' or 'homeward' use 'הביתה'. Plural is 'בתים' (ba-TIM). 'דירה' is a closer synonym when referring specifically to an apartment.
