the street receding (into the distance)
I think this is very probably what it's referring to. The "punto de fuga" in perspective is the vanishing point: the point in the distance towards which the perspective seems to converge. We are seeing the house from the side and the street on the left recedes from the viewer. You could just put "receding"; I'd be inclined to add "into the distance".
