I'm with those that think the house looks pretty. Perhaps a little mintier than you were aiming for, but pretty. There have already been some excellent suggestions re: some different greens to try if budget allows, however, if it doesn't . . . Definitely simplify the base of the pillars to the creamy trim colour, but leave the little hit of rusty red at the tops of the columns or they will look like they're missing something like your upper windows look now. That will keep the sash colour further away from the brick stairs which is good because it is a bit too "clean" relative to the brick and is making it look old. That said, I like the natural brick and would not paint it unless absolutely necessary. If the stairs have to be painted for some reason, I would make the colour more like the side walk which is a decent match to the roof, both of which are more orange than the reddish brick. Your roof is very visible and the "tongue" effect created by the walk and stairs visually grounds the house as it is now with them being similar in colour. And yes, foundation plantings will also help the house "settle".

It would be too much white for my tastes. I would want some definition between the roof and the walls. I think you can achieve a clean, classic look without going white on white.

I would spend some time researching /looking at color schemes from the era and for your style of house . Not that you have to strip the wood or do exact museum like reproduction -NOOO! Just use original design intention for your starting point - for instance, you wouldnt have to strip paint to get the dark wood feel. There can be found some great looking vintage interiors with trim/doors/etc. painted in a dark charcoal which gives a victorian interior a whole different, more sophisticated and authentic feel than the white..... or by choosing dark rich color for walls with light trim for contrast can give similar feel - you can use contemporary current paint colors too, doesnt have to be the old cliche "victorian" colors. Tall ceilings, generously sized windows allowing in plenty of natural light means you can embrace color I would spend some $$$ on consultation to get a whole house pallette incl interior and exerior - yes you want colors that flow together, inside and out.... not matchy matchy, but just visually coherent. Just to give idea of what a difference color can make: https://www.oldhouseguy.com/projects/exterior-paint-color-portfolio/

@showing my home love I have read through your comments and some of the additional comments. I worked for a real-estate attorney with the evaluation of property values and then as a real estate agent. 1. You were correct in the decision to paint your home - the lead paint was peeling and chipping - requires painting. 2. White happens to be a popular color at the moment, but I believe you made the right decision to paint the home sage. The color will allow you to have white trim and give you the contrast that makes your home interesting. 3. Sage Green is a color that many people like. It is seldom seen as an offsetting color or a negative color. 4. I would not paint the front door purple. It happens to be my favorite color, but I am in the minority - many people dislike purple. I would probably choose a front door color with broader appeal. This would be my suggested colors: Bold - Benjamin Moore Coat of Arms, Less Bold - Benjamin Moore Everard Blue Select a less bold color if your door isn't what you want them to notice and remember - Bold only if your front door is is perfect condition. These colors will have a much greater universal appeal than purple. When looking for resale value you don't want to overspend on renovations, but you must make everything look well cared for. Remove or trim back overgrown bushes and fill in with annuals when it is time to sell. Mulch all the beds. Buying expensive perennials will cost you more than they will return. When I am doing renovations I assume a 50% return on my investment. Whatever I am doing is going to have to bring me the other 50% of the cost through enjoying my space. If you are going to be there 3 years do whatever is needed to spruce things up, but know that 50% of what you spend is being gifted to the next owner and is that much less that you will have to spend on your next home. Your home will be valued based on the neighborhood, the square footage and overall condition of your home. It will sell if it is priced correctly given the 3 parameters above. To know how to price your home visit every home that goes on the market that is in your neighborhood/school district. Are they bigger than yours - reduce the price. Are they nicer than yours - reduce the price. Did they sell fast or sit on the market - if they sat they were over priced. Did they sell at or close to the listing price? Educate yourself on what is going on in your area and price your home right. Don't trust the realtors to give you the right information. They want your listing and will often tell you an unrealistic price because they know that listing your house and advertising your house will make buyers call. The buyers who call will likely buy a different home, but if they can hook the buyer with your house and sell them something else they still make a commission. This gets your hopes up - thinking you are going to get a higher price for your home, but if you price your home too high and it sits on the market and you will be forced to lower your price. Once a house is seen as stale the price people are willing to spend goes down. You usually end up with low ball offers from people who assume you are getting desperate. Hope this helps you with the decision making process.
