Two Primary Residences

My wife and I have two residences in two different states due to our employment situation.   My wife lives in one and I live in the other, nearly full time.  We purchased the second home 4 years ago and I have lived in it full time except for work travel and weekend trips to visit my wife.  For the past year, during the pandemic, I have been working remotely from my wife's home.  I have a car licensed in the state of the 2nd home and it is listed as my residence with my employer.  I will be retiring this year and we plan to sell the 2nd home, likely at a gain.  Everything I have read indicates that I am not able to take the capital gain exclusion.  Is there any exclusion at all when the second home was for work and not a vacation or income property?  Thanks.
