Well that alone was a vast improvement! Question, is there any overhead lighting in the walkway that leads to the front door? What if you added a skylight? Or solor tubes, to help brighten that area? While on the task of lighting we need to update what you have on the front as well more fitting to the facade of the house. Also could you stain the concrete to look terracotta?

There really is nothing farmhouse about your home's style. The roof is Spanish. From the front, the board and batten and casement windows are contemporary. From the side, the house looks like it was a Garrison Colonial with the overhang filled in at one point. The solid wall makes it feel more contemporary. The extra trim around the windows look like they were added on at some point. This is a good example of an authentic, typical farmhouse. If you were to remove the front porch, it would be a typical Colonial with an addition on the back. This shows the overhang of a Garrison Colonial. Here, the entrance is in the middle rather than on the side. If you're curious as to what your house was look like when it was originally built, perhaps you can get a copy of the plans from the office that issues building permits in your county. You would more than likely be able to find elevation drawings that shows how the house was meant to look.

Not a pro. Just some thoughts. Budget and building codes permitting, of course, the most obvious solution to aside entry would be to move your carport/parking space(s) to in the front of the house in front of the right side of the existing carport but also in front of the left front exterior wall of your house and build a foyer with a front/street facing door on the side of the house at the entry door. Your walk path toward a new front porch and foyer built on the left side of the house would be beside your future carport. If only landscaping is in your budget, consider planting any shrubs or trees you add for privacy away from the front exterior wall of the house to enable you to create at least a short walk path directly in front of your front exterior wall of your home along side your driveway to aim your visitors toward the carport where your entry door is located and, perhaps, a small patio between the green privacy wall and the left front corner of the house.. If, however, you can alter your entry: Enclose your new entry foyer at the current entry door and also enclose the rest of what is now carport behind it to create the entry foyer. Unless your door is very close to the front, you could leave the area between the new foyer and the front exterior wall of the house as front porch. In front of the new front porch and your front exterior wall of your home, beneath front window height, create a forward facing front gable using the same left slope as the roof over the new foyer and porch about six feet deep, adding to your front porch in front of your foyer. To create your new carport on and to the right of your existing driveway, extend the right slope of that forward facing gable to make your carport as long as it needs to be -- and you could also have the carport roof continue part of the left slope of that forward facing gable shape (perhaps a third or even half the way down) shape so the left slope covers a walk path alongside your new carport.

I'm fine with all of it—cute house. Love the roofline of the main house section. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the gabled section to the right. I don't think it matches the quality of the rest, perhaps because the window seems as though it's not the right proportion and the white siding on the gable seems like the "wrong" material. The whole front of that gabled section looks like it could use more "depth", but I'm not up to explaining how. Maybe a tad more roof protruding? If it were my $50k, I would focus on this gabled section. Start by doing something different with that window. @Beth has a photo using an arched window in that section. Something like that would enhance the Spanish-American feel. If you were stuck for $$$$ to enhance this gabled section (i.e. if you can't afford a bigger window, you could fill the space better by putting shutters on that window, as in some of the examples ^^^^. I like the green/blue color, but that's not to everyone's taste. The garage door doesn't match the rest of the quality IMO, but there are good suggestions ^^^ about how to address that.
