Link doesn't plan to buy a new house, at first.
The offer catches his interest, the site of the future house itself is beautiful, but he tells himself he has more important things to do. Like saving the world.
(Saving her, somehow.)
But stables and inns aren't optimized for his irregular sleeping schedules. He knows it's bothersome that he sometimes shows up at midnight, and other times leaves after having slept through the whole day, just as normal travelers begin to consider finding a place to stay for the night. Besides, he can't keep crashing by his friends, no matter how much they insist that he's not intruding.
(Their shared house in Hateno is not even on the table. He can't bring himself to go back there. There's too much of her in it, yet it lacks her.)
So he goes back to Tarry Town, and buys a house consisting of nothing but the entrance and the bedroom he receives as a starting pack. And some shield and weapon mounts, to store his excess equipment. And a furnished square room for a better layout, and a gallery to decorate, and also some stairs – he could turn the area under it into a cozy little study.
After that, it feels only natural that he buys a pond and some flower beds, and plants some silent princesses in them.
(Looking at the crude result, with earth thrown around everywhere, he can't help but feel like she would've done a better job.)
Before he knows it, the new house has just as much of her in it as the one in Hateno – which is incredible, really, seeing as she never even knew about it.
No matter. What's done is done, he supposes.
(At least it has a nice view of her flight path.)
