/ˌtɒpəˈfɪliə/ · noun
A strong sense of place, often combined with a sense of cultural identity..
What I feel towards my grandmother's house could be described as topophilia.
Topophilia might not be associated with your childhood home, however. For me, all synesthetic tendencies take me not to Seattle but to Barcelona, the city where I lived in my 20s, where I got married, and the only place I have returned to year after year (except for 2020, due to the pandemic).
Use topophilia when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
