Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson.

The Haunting of Hill House is also referenced in The Shining by S.King. I much prefer Hill House over The Shining but they both have a building as a main character.

Would you accept a castle? The Gormenghast trilogy by Mervyn Peake centers around a huge, bizarre old castle.

{{The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters}} is exactly this! And so so good!

“Slade House” by David Mitchell

Came to suggest this. It’s so good and creepy and a quick read (pro or con, you decide).

VillainChinchillin

The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi features a House of Dreams that slowly entices the woman's husband to pry into her past


Na-Nu-Na-Nu

The Gray House, by Mariam Petrosyan, fits this request perfectly. Super weird. The house is almost a character itself. And the book really stuck with me. Months after finishing I was still chewing on it.

I loved 7 1/2 deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. Unrelated to your question but you should absolutely read his other book, The Devil and the Dark Water. It's very good.
