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.

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.

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):

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