place

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one's home' is the definition.
'place' can be an answer for 'home' (synonyms). I am not certain of the 'one's' bit.

'a step round the corner' is the wordplay.
'a step' becomes 'pace' ('pace' can be a synonym of 'step').
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the corner' becomes 'l' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pace' enclosing 'l' is 'PLACE'.

'just' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for place that I've seen before include "square?" , "Location; put" , "Locate" , "Identify -- station" , "Scene; put" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
