The house is surrounded by green trees, one of which is blooming with pink flowers. The front of the house has several windows, and the windows of the upper story have blue shades on either side of them. The roof is painted in white and light blue, and it has one central chimney in a pale peach color. The paint has been applied with visible brushstrokes in thin lines.
