Notes
GENERAL INFO
"Maison" means "house" or "home." It is a feminine noun.
USAGE
You use "la maison" for the physical building: "acheter une maison" (to buy a house). For "at home" or "to go home," you say "à la maison": "Je rentre à la maison" (I'm going home).
TRAPS
Remember it's always feminine: "la maison," not "le maison." Also, "à la maison" means "at home," while "chez moi" means "at my place" (referring to a person's dwelling, not just the building).
