I think there are two differences. Firstly, the House in Andy Gage's head has a kind of reality that daydreams just don't--it's actually a separate world that he can immerse himself in, with other personalities he can talk to. Secondly, it won the Tiptree, which is specifically for sf. ;-)
I wasn't sure that I thought it was genre when I first read it, but on reflection I think it is.
