Amiable — to describe a house?

Sometimes, I think people use word they think is right but it isn’t.  It may be close but not exactly the word to express the right message.

Case in point–I was reading some real estate adds. One said that the house listed was “amiable.”  That didn’t seem quite right to me.

You decide–Here is a dictionary definition of amiable:

having or showing pleasant, good-natured personal qualities

affable

friendly

sociable

agreeable

willing to accept the wishes, decisions or suggestions of others

Those do not seem to be characteristics of a house–at least to me.

The last line of the dictionary definition of amiable said lovable or loveable.

Maybe that is what the ad writer was going for.  They just had an obsolete dictionary.
