An old friend of mine had a wonderful dog she adopted from a shelter. It was pure shelter - a bit of this and that. When people would ask her what kind of dog it was, she'd say "brown." I thought of this when I looked at the picture of your friend's house. It is pure early 21st century development - a bit of this and a bit of that.

Check out these pics and follow what they've done. Since you're getting new windows, look at doing the darker exterior color like black or a dark bronze, bring in some wood accents, and if you need a new roof at some point, look at metal. your little overhang porch could easily be done like this. as for the interior, love JudyG's design w/the wood entry. removing that wall and opening up the staircase w/that stair style would be perfect for the look you want. taking down that wall would look something like this: but you could choose the style of staircase you like

Replace that upstairs bay with a regular window. Replace the posts on the porch with some square ones that are beefier and do square balusters on the porch railing as well. This will help balance out the upstairs window. Plant some flowers and if you can hosta around the trees and front planters in front of porch. Bring in a cheery color on the front door.
