Aunt Bea or not Aunt Bea? That is the question...

I have a question relative to the PIKO model "Aunt Bea's House" that im trying to resolve. I ordered one from looking at the PIKO online catalogue:

http://www.piko.de/produkt_db/check.php?page=detail&grand_id=5&parent_id=2&child_id=7&id=62221

but it arrived in yellow. I have since heard that there isnt a lilac version (as indicated in this picture), but that this picture actually depicts Grandpa's House (as shown by this link, w/ Aunt Bea's in the background):

http://www.piko.de/produkt_db/check.php?page=detail&grand_id=5&parent_id=2&child_id=10&id=62248

Is this an error in the catalogue, or are there 2 versions of Aunt Bea's House?

Regards,

I wish I was in Colorado with my layout right now, but I'm in California for school.  I have the instruction sheet for exactly the house you want back in Colorado. 

I'm trying to remember, but I think you want Grandpa's House.  Aunt Bea's must be the yellow version.  But without the instructions in front of me I can't be certain.  The lilac version is newer, the yellow version is older.  Of course my Piko catalogs are in Colorado too

But I am certain there is a large lilac/grey house.  It's one of my favorite structures. 

Here are three photos I could find of it, it's way in the back in the last photo.

Yes there is a lilac version, looks like the one in your photographs and its described as Grandpa's House in the PIKO catalogue. I think the reference to Aunt Bea's must be an error, as the Aunt Bea's in yellow isnt mentioned.
