Inherited House Conundrum

Sorry if this is a rambly mess, it's hard for me to put this into words sometimes.

So, a couple of years ago I inherited my mother’s house after her passing and have been living there since. I do not really see myself living in the house, or even my hometown, much longer into the future and having the house for going on 3 years now has long felt like an anchor weighing me down, keeping me from moving on with my life. “So just sell it” I already hear you saying, but here’s the nitty-gritty of the conundrum. I currently don’t have a career path laid out, so I have nowhere else to really go to. The careers I am thinking about would keep me from home nearly all the time, however, there may be times I could come home for a bit. Or if one job is wrapping up, I would like somewhere to come back to. 
I will admit, I am also a bit sentimental and that has also complicated things, but that is mostly in regards to the furniture and other items at this stage more than the house itself. 
I have considered a storage unit and I think I could afford it no problem but I’d rather not when I have a house already and it doesn't help the “place to come back to” question. 
I’m just lost on what to do or what path would be the best for my situation. It’s kinda dragged on long enough and I would like to at least have a good plan before I make any decision, job or house related. 
I guess the advice I’m asking for is what would you do in my situation? Or even just, any ideas that maybe would make a decision easier. I’m open to any well meaning advice that could steer me in the right direction.
