Idea selecting exterior up grades to 1960’s brick ranch featuring MCM.
Comments (6)@HALLETT & Co. The original owner added the brick planter in the late 1980’s and they’re crumbling and safety hazard. I don’t think they offer any curb appeal. Especially the long planter to the right of the door, it seems odd. The smaller one near the garage is ok but not great shape either. The tall brick stacked next to the front door is original to the home, it’s staying put. We found out my husbands best friend’s great uncle had this home built and we have confirmed those aren’t original. I feel better about doing away with them....See MoreNew idea for brick ranch exterior with garage addition
Comments (20)You said, " The sides are painted wood siding. ". That's why I asked if the addition would be sided like them. I think if you already have siding on your house, even though it's not on the front, then you'd do best to make sure all the siding on the house is the same. So that either means painted siding on the addition, or new siding on all the sided parts + the addition....See MoreHelp with Exterior Updates to 60s Brick Ranch
Comments (5)I would leave the brick and do a major spring clean up. The landscaping needs a lot of help. The columns should be beefed up. They are way to spindly. Your gutters need to be cleaned out, before you are dealing with water damage. I can see all that debris from the trees, in the picture. Its a very cute house, and the brick look nice on the front of it. If I were a buyer, I would prefer the brick over painted....See MoreExterior Updates to Yellow Brick Ranch
Comments (1)Now that I finally have the interior of my house the way I like it, the exterior needs some serious help! It just looks so boring and blah. First of all, I do *not* want to paint the brick. With that said, I'm leaning toward a darker accent color (dark grey or black?) but I don't know if I like the panels under the windows or shutters or what. I know it needs some landscaping (I'm loving the idea of a wisteria tree under the window on the right) but I'm more concerned about the actual house right now. Any design/architectural/color suggestions would be much appreciated!! Also, if you suggest a color scheme, please include your thoughts on what to do to the (obnoxious!) garage. I will be putting a new roof on in the next few months so I'm open to ideas on that as well. Note: The two photos in comments are from the past two owners and how they had it... Not a huge fan of either....See Moregreenfish1234
