Mary Kay Andrews is an author who writes cozy mysteries. Many of her books involve a woman renovating an old house. I have read every book she has written. The two that most fit what you are looking for would be "The Homewreckers" and "The Fixer Upper".

Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver.
It is about a family who inherits a really old house that needs tons of work. The woman decides to research the history of the house to see if it qualifies to be on the historical registry, in hopes that the historical preservation society will provide some funding for all the repairs it needs.

Probably a stretch but Howl’s Moving Castle and the House of Many Ways

It's middle grade, but The Vanderbeekers of 141th Street.

Not new but Gormeghast by Mervin Peake and Pat of Silver Bush by LM Montgomery would fit the bill.

I'm looking for fiction where the house could be considered a main character.

Examples I've read include Brideshead Revisited, Rebecca, I Capture the Castle, etc.

I see a lot of lists with classics but am wondering about newer books published in the last five years or so?

Thank you!!
