It’s eaves and chimneys
and tile floors
and stucco and roof
and lots of doors.
Yard: A measuring unit (1 yard equals to 3 ft. or 36 inches), garden or corridors outside the house
Eaves: the part of the roof that hangs out over the walls to provide shade, elevations of the roof

It also has window glass and corridors or open space in front and back of the house for gardening.
