Any ideas on this one? Would The House of Doctor Dee work?

I haven‘t read it, but from the description I‘d say it fits.

[Anna]

The House in Paris. I've read this one and it's set in one house.

[Christelle]

Has anyone read The Bitter Glass ? From the summary it seems like it applies, but I would like to be sure.

Yes, I've read it and it would definitely work.

[Karen]

I think Troubles by J G Farrell would also work. Though it is set in a hotel, the family and many of the guests consider it their home.

Thank you!

[Yrinsyde]

Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann! It's a family saga and the family home is a major feature (or character)l.

[Ellinor]

If you're looking for a quick read for this task you can pick any of the 3 Edgar Allen Poe stories. They all fit.

[Claire]

Just a question for those who read it: would Mansfield Park work here?

[Liander (The Towering Pile)]

I think so! It's been a bit since I read it, but I think almost the whole story is set at Mansfield Park.

[Liander (The Towering Pile)]

I just started Rebecca, which I suspect will count for this one. It has multiple settings but I think it's mostly set at Manderley.

[Karen]

A World of Love by Elizabeth Bowen interests me and I believe would fit this prompt.

[Ana]

The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilmanis very short and takes place mostly in 1 room

[Kimberly]

Malone Dies by Samuel Beckett

Just finished it. Definitely fits the definition. This is not a normal hotel, it is home to it's occupants.

[Rebekah]

Others that fit
The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
The House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson

[Rebekah]

I just finished The Professor's House by Willa Cather, hoping to use it for this task but doesn’t fit at all. It is actually about a man living in two houses. Maybe I can put this elsewhere.
Has anyone read High-Rise by J.G. Ballard ? Would it fit?
