they have a collection of tree lines that I use all the time....you could applied as vraylight material but excluding it from GI
if you put it far away your glass will reflect only have of the windows and the rest would be sky, It completes the sense that the house is in a place with trees around.

I'll check it out, thanks. I have good ones, but I am not going to re-render. I tried some things in post, but it just isn't doing it any justice.

The front view needs some direct light like you have on the back view...I think, It's the reason why It looks better than the front view

What I really need to do, is work on my glass shader

No you don't - do it in post. select the glass (multimatte render element) and use that mask as a folder in photoshop to lift the levels, paste in a new sky, add a treeline etc. It's like 30 minutes work once you have the mask.

Okay, what I really need is time . Something really strange is going on with the bottom front window. But, it can probably be fixed in post.

If anyone would like to play with it, here is the PDF. You'll see everything masked at the bottom.
