What is pronoun for a house?

There isn't a specific pronoun for a house in English.

Here's why:

* Houses are inanimate objects: Pronouns usually refer to people or animals (personal pronouns) or things that can be counted (indefinite pronouns). Houses are neither.

* We use "it" for inanimate objects: We typically use the pronoun "it" to refer to a house: "The house is beautiful. I love it."

However, you can use other words to avoid repetition:

* Demonstratives: "This house is beautiful. I love this one."

* Descriptive phrases: "The house is beautiful. I love the one with the blue shutters."

So, while there's no single pronoun for a house, you can use "it" or other options to refer to it in your writing or speech.
