Did anyone notice the "eye" peeking out the upper left hand window? LOL Cute house. This is probably going to sound beyond what you are asking, but here goes... I like the idea about painting the front door and making this your focal point. I am going to be repainting my garage this year, so I did some research because I've seen garage doors that are sometimes painted the same color as the trim, and other times the garage door is painted the color of the body of the house, so I wasn't sure which to do. What I came across was an article that suggested painting your garage door the same color of the body of your house, in effect making it blend rather than stand out, because who wants their garage door to be the focal point, right? I think by doing this, you will definitely bring more attention to your front door. I'd match the garage door to a color found in your bricks, but leave the trim white. In addition to painting the front door, and if this is practical, I'd also paint the adjoining window (transomes I think they're called?) - in other words, the entire frame around the door. A nice blue would work too, that would be a nice contrast to all the red in your bricks, but then that might be too much red white and blue...maybe a nice yellow? I love the symmetry of the planting bed in front of your overhang/porch area. Adding a bistro set behind that, or patio rocking chairs with a center table would look adorable and very quaint. On the side of your house, you could plant a row of hydrangeas. Small urns flanking the garage door would look nice. An urn or container plant to the right of the doorway. A bench on the empty wall to the left of the door would look cute too, and you could totally play this up for Halloween or other holidays with pumpkins, gourds, cornstalks, marigolds and kale around that bench. Adorable. The grassy area straight out from the front door - I'd probably plant something low growing in this corner 'nook', something evergreen maybe a small rhododendron, or an azalea if that area gets more sun than not. Or, maybe three rounded boxwood planted in a triangular pattern with a curved border from the driveway to the sidewalk, and mock the same pattern at the end of the driveway next to the sidewalk. On the west corner of the garage, I'd plant a shrub or a small tree for effect. Landscape lighting does wonders for curb appeal, but I wouldn't recommend solar lighting. Subtle lighting is best... uplight features you want to accentuate, like that small accent tree and your front door, and then use pathway lighting to lowlight from the end of the driweway to your front door. I would add a bordered planting bed underneath that small tree so it doesn't look like it's in limbo - you could underplant with hostas, pulmonaria, pachysandra, or any groundcover, but make the bed the same width as the breadth of the tree, minimum. I'd definitely use uplighting on that tree, it will look fantastic. The paint forum is a great place to start for color suggestions.

Not sure of the color, but both SW and BM can match hardie colors. This one looks to be a gray/green. Edit: Found Hardie board (brown) with red (front door) but it may give you an alternate color scheme if the one posted above named Rehobeth Beach doesn't work. Trying to save you money on a roof change if you don't need one. One more gray with a red roof - a weathered gray

Agree with the darker garage door and landscaping. The front door in a plum is a great idea as mentioned above or even the right dark green works with your brick. If you can replace the top windows in your garage door with a solid panel garage door, it is more cohesive IMO as shown in the mock ups. Otherwise, change out the plastic inserts in those windows so you have sq/rectangle windows rather than the distracting rounded shape that shows now. That top row in the garage door is very busy looking and calls attention to the garage door. I like the green or plum colors shown below for your front door accent color. Landscaping will be the finishing touch as Lyndee Lee suggests.

Is this the front of your side of the duplex? I assume that the other side is opposite this side that you show above. Or is this a side entry to your unit? It would help if you can show where the two units join so we can see your property in context. Is the driveway to the right of the property your driveway for your exclusive use? In the original pic it shows two doors-are both of those doors leading into your unit? What is your current siding - stucco? Something else? Sorry for the barrage of questions. It just helps to see what the whole property is like to get context so ideas will be appropriate for your property.
