Ann and the House

I think the movie tries to have this both ways (or is at least confusing).

Although the house in the present day seems surrounded by trees and the house in the flashback is not wooded; two things seem to suggest it's the same house.

1. When Meryl Streep's character visits, she looks around as if appraising the changes to the house.

2. The ending connects the interior of the house where Ann is dying, with the exterior by having the light pass over the bed inside and the time lapse of the clouds rolling and obscuring the sun on the outside. This seem to reprise a view over the ocean that reprises that from the Wittenborns' house at the beginning of the flashbacks.

If they were meant to be different houses, they should have chosen a brick house or something to stand in for the present house in order to differentiate the two.
