Though this Victorian house looks as if it's been in place for a century,
it's actually an architectural shell. Even the blossoms on the trees are fake -
they're made of silk.
The aunt's house is every bit a main character in the movie....
"I analyzed the descriptions of the stairways and the tangle of vines
growing over the back door, and decided it had to be Victorian,"
she (Robin Standefer) explains. "But it couldn't look haunted.
It had to be clean and white, not fading and cobwebbed.
The aunts never really age. Their magic keeps them young.
What if they lived in a house that never really aged?
The design, based on East Coast shingle style, evolved
to include a lighthouse on top. "Women were traditionally
light keepers and this was a house of women," says Robin.
Just as important to the story of the Owens family is
their multigenerational home, prompting filmmakers to build it
rather than to look for an existing structure.
Hope that helps :)

A lot of times people are paid very good money for the use of their homes for use in movies.
