Just getting rid of those brown vertical lines will go a long way. You might consider squaring off the entryway, although either way could work. Honestly, if you want more advice, you need to post a photos that expands to something legible when clicked!!

Wow Thank you! I never thought of the window box's and the patio! Great idea's!

Do an armchair drive around with google streetview to see what colors the new houses near you have. Is your roof black or brown? And the fascia that you like?

My roof has shades of brown and the fascia is the same colour as the vertical lines. The colour is a taupe brown shade. Thanks!

I don't think a new facade is necessary...simply clean up & paint the existing. I do like the idea of bigger windows. The stone work you want could be a wider new walk further out from the house, with a more generous hardscape at the entrance and perhaps a very low wall to on the streetside of the path.

Generically, I would stay away from any yellow/brown/oranges in your paint color scheme. Personally, I think the dark trim scheme works against you. It would be better if the house body color were a medium tone and the trim much lighter, all the way to white even. Agree with all those who've said to remove the stripes. They give a mobile home vibe to the house.

Can't tell details of what's going on now with the tiny picture. In the future, try slightly overlapping pictures (larger ones!) that show a wide view scene, that is centered on the front door.

To be sure, create a large landing for the stoop. Pull the walk away from the house (6', 8', 10'...?) in order to allow adequate space for a nice foundation planting. In most cases, in order to preserve planting bed possibilities, it makes sense to direct the walk toward the back of cars parked directly in front of the garage. It is very little difference in the distance to the car door, but the presentation from the street view is much improved.

If you want to add a modern look to your home, Hardie Boys, Inc. has some beautiful products. You could add some elegance around the front of your house with a new column design. Have you ever considered adding brackets around your windows to help them stand out? Above is past design work on windows similar to yours.

Do a smooth stucco finish to cover textured look.
