I don't think you should mess with the brick either. It is a beautiful house, well proportioned. If anything, I find the white really stands out against the brick. Maybe consider painting the white a different color. In particular, I'm thinking the railings, and window trim for a bit of contrast. Maybe black would work for the trim?

Another vote for leaving the brick - the home is lovely as is. The only thing I would do is remove that bit of railing that divides the stairs in half - it looks a little odd, floating in space, and it creates pinch points due to the proximity of the planters, too.

Here's a Georgian new build which is a bit similar to yours. As you can see, it's the classic Georgian red brick color too. Don't change it.

The trim is cream vs white which you may consider if you are painting anyway, but I wouldn't go to the trouble if your trim is in good shape.

Have a look at the railings. Black vs your white ones, and they go up the side. Metal looks best. That's the only change I'd make if you don't like yours. Or just paint yours black so they do not stand out so much.

However, if you put side railings then the pots have to go somewhere else because someone using the railing needs to be able to hold the railing all the way up the stairs and not be stopped by the pots at the top of the stairs.

You have a beautiful home.

I agree with Sophie's comments. Painting the brick would be a big mistake.

I’d put my focus on replacing all the windows with ones that actually fit the openings! I’m guessing those are vinyl replacement windows?

You have a very lovely home!

Brick can be stained or painted. But painted brick is more maintenance and water can get trapped and make the brick swell and crumble. Where as stains allow the brick to breathe.

I think you need to hire a decent painter to freshen up the paint and a landscape designer to provide some additional curb appeal.

For dormer colour, I was thinking grey to tie into the colours of the shingles.

If you really want to lower the value of that house just mess with the brick. This is a nice house that needs very little to make it better and there is no space for shutters so forget that . Cleaning brick is a job best left to pros.Power washing is never a choice

- Old brick and mortar are softer than the new stuff today and can be easily blasted away with high pressure water. I've seen brick houses with the mortar almost completely blasted away by pressure washing. And the expense of repointing a brick house is probably 10 times what the pressure washer charged ...

Check out Romabio paint. I'm about to paint my house with it...lets the brick breath.

Your house is gorgeous! The architecture is beautiful and the brick is really pretty: color and detailing. Don't ruin the gable. Honestly I think the railing is really nice. The house doesn't need shutters either.

Hire a landscape designer! That's the only thing that could really use work. The house itself is great.

Consider painting the trim, columns, railing, and the dormers. Maybe someone with photoshop skills can try out some colors for you. I'm pondering if gray or black would look nice. Just an idea. The brick is classic.
