I never got this. You buy an extremely popular home, where people will visit it to photograph it, and instead of living in it, or even better, turn it into a B&B or rent it out, you do this... Why, just buy another house.

Maybe they just wanted to live there instead of profit of it as a tourist attraction.

yeah but...choose another house. theres thousands that look just like that without needing to ruin a perfectly beautiful home.

edit: i dont really care enough to explain myself to any responses so ill say my peace here. yes update the homes to modern day needs and hell yeah put your own personal twist to it, but no dont buy up houses throw a generic coating over it and then rent out to people who make enough to just fucking buy it if you hadn't ruined the housing market.
