As shown in your sketch the stone would look odd. As the heaviest material, literally and visually, it should come all the way to the ground. You might be surprised that the stone patio may not be that much more expensive than the stone pillars. Doing all 4 sides of a pillar requires a lot of stone. In other words you can do 4 times the distance along the face. You can do the stone wall with a concrete patio and steps then install stone treads and patio later.

Thank you! That helps a lot and looks so much better. I'll check out ms paint. I was onto something with the less is more with the cable wires, but just wasnt taking into consideration the style of the home or thinking about it for the porch apron. Anna we just did siding. soffits, fascia, and gutters, and a privacy fence, are currently expanding the driveway, and just finished the enclosed porch with drywall, but I dont intend on spending any more than 3-4 years here so I dont think any major renovations to the entrance will be getting done other than the paint. Especially considering I still have to contend with the backyard grass and addition of concrete. ughhh

Call an engineer on Monday; get it inspected. No way to answer without knowing the structural issues. There is no foundation under the outside of the porch, but whether you can support the roof from the edges is a question that can be answered only after a close inspection. Anything now is just speculation and pointless.
