Curb appeal tips? 1950s Cape cod
Comments (3)Replace roof with dark gray shingles. Replace small windows in dormers with larger windows to scale adding trim around each. Remove storm door and add trim around front door and around lower level windows as well. If you can, add panes to all windows. Add veneer stone to match existing rock wall. add new light fixtures each side of front door and above garage door. Remove all plantings then add climbing roses each side of stairs. Add ground cover at top of stone wall that cascades over softening lines. Remove metal awning replacing with wooden portico extending from existing roofline. Remove wrought iron railing and replace with wood/pvc/vinyl.Personally I would paint the brick a pale gray and add black or dark gray shutters, both of which are classic colors for cape cod style houses. Good luck....See MoreCape style home Curb appeal needed, located in New England
Comments (5)Good morning Marissa, Your property has a lot of potential. There are several projects that can add to the beauty and functionality of the property. I would advise spreading the projects over 2-3 years, depending on your available funds. Have you considered budgets for the possible improvements? If you are able to do so, post measurements of your property, including boundaries, structures, doors, stoops, existing patios, large trees, and basement windows. If you do this, I and others will be able to help create possible design layouts....See MoreNeed curb appeal for my Portland, Orego cape cod! Landscape help, etc!
Comments (8)Hi! I like your pink plant pots. If you like the white paint on the outside, consider a bold color door, black shutters and add big black trimmed flower boxes under the windows, with flowering shrubs and perennials in front of your porch. I love the idea of white hydrangeas fronting the concrete porch. Do you like romantic or modern & edgy? You have some nice trees, keep them trimmed up so they don't block the view of the house and windows. Try some "Aubrieta Rock Cress Cascade Purple Ground Cover Plant or Dichondra Silver Falls Ground Cover " with spiky grasses in between along the edge of the rock wall. Tuck some Creeping Jenny in between for variety in color. Whatever you plant, try to keep it low maintenance and slow growing as that is a real selling point for the future....See MoreCan someone help me ID this front door or find one very similar?
