How does Maddie describe Aunt Etta's house in the novel, Tobacco Wives?

Maddie adores Aunt Etta’s house, where she spends all her summers. She describes, “The sight of Aunt Etta’s little house, standing picture-perfect on her tree-lined street, usually brought a smile to my face” (22). Like Aunt Etta, the house looks “proud and happy” (22).
