If the fence is for "privacy" rather than to protect children of pets ... just a thought: have you considered a "green fence" -- row of shrubs -- where you're considering a fence?

More pics, closer please.

Appears to be a fabulous side split! Just removal of the fence would be a grand improvement.

I agree take down the fence , and take some more pics of the house

If you like the fence and want to keep one I would look at installing a horizontal wood fence where the existing fence is located. This would enhance the existing horizontal lines of the house. With the lighter tones of the brick I would paint the dark brown colors a lighter tone. This will reduce the disjointed effect of the dark against the light.

If you're interested in seeing some virtual makeovers of your house, check out my website, Creative Visual Concepts. I don't think it will take a lot to improve the look.

Thank you all for the feedback. I was hoping to keep the fencing if possible as it was such a big part of MCM exterior design and there is a patio on the other side. I was thinking that a refreshed look like below (only shorter) might be an option.

Here is a closer pic of the house.

All feedback welcome:) Thank you!!!

I like these slat styles. They'll let some breeze through.

Some ideas about fencing

Not clear photo to work with. Please photo with good resolution.

There are fences and there are screens. They accomplish two different things. What is it that you require?

If you are interested in your house's history, city hall may have a record of permits issued for changes to the house and fence. There may have been a low wall without a fence initially. Where does the walkway to the front door run?

Please provide more photos, higher-resolution, from a visitor’s perspective. What does one see when looking at your home from the street — Is it even visible from the street? What’s it look like when driving down the driveway? How long is the driveway? Is it straight or does it meander? What will I see upon exiting my vehicle as I make my way to the front door? It looks like a really cool property, but there’s no way to really offer ideas if we can’t see the place!
