A house is a place where you keep all your crap. If you go to Hawaii for a week, you take just enough of your crap to cover your needs for that week. If your friend then invites you over for a weekend party on the other side of the island, you take just enough of your crap to cover your needs for that weekend. Once you get there, you realize that your crap is spread out over half the planet. So you end up gathering all the crap you brought with you back up and placing it back in the one central location you call home ;)

A house has four walls that is attached to the ground and is not owned by someone other than you(if you own it or the "man of the house"). And has at least a bathroom, bedroom, and a kitchen-should I put living room?

I would define a house as a structure built for the purpose of living that is not on top of or underneath another structure.

The question should say "home" as that would be a great deal more subjective. A "house" is a very simple thing to define:

A house is the area in which one asserts a level of control and personalization over their reality. It is an area removed from the outer world, separated by an entrance normally sealed with a door. A good example of this is a row of terraced houses, each a nearly identical building on the outside, but on the inside shaped by the mind of its inhabitant.

Addendum

A house is the barrier between your world and theirs.
