Do you know any tricks to make a leaning house look like it's not

I have a house I'm rehabbing that is slightly leaning to one side.  It's only noticeable from the outside.   The inside is fine.  But when standing in front of the house you can see it leaning to the left.  Is there anything I can do to hide this?  I'm thinking about planting some mid size trees in the front yard to hide it.  

I can't jack it because I was told that it is too heavy and will likely crush the stone foundation and cause more problems than it will solve.  

I'm looking for advice on how to hide it.

If leaning to the left:

1. Place a book under your right foot

2. Lock your knees

Reverse instructions if leaning to the right!
