Cute house!! If you have $ -what about a porch that spans from the door to the end of the house on the right? Like Andy Taylor's house - enough room for seating .

Maybe the garage color matching the house color? What kind of budget do you have in mind?

Looks like you need a new roof. A mid-tone gray with light tan on the siding and trim would look good.

Or a roof in "weathered Wood" like this one with a real cream trim - not stark white.

You also need a new garage door and better landscaping.

Good luck.

Increase the width of the stoop, steps and walk.

Roof, either needs replacing, or a good cleaning. The squared off shrubbery's need to be removed and new landscaping with some color, and curved beds be added. I like the looks of the landscaping in the picture above this one. Garage door, needs painting, to blend in better, and garage itself, should be the color of your brick. Its a very cute house, just needs some maintenance done. Congratulations on your new home.

Clean the roof

Add a portico over the front door

New windows.

Trim the bushes, widen walkway with gravel or mulch border, get rid of storm doors, paint entry door, garage

I like yaardvark's plan for your yard. A new garage door would help a lot, as well as having the roof cleaned. If you need a storm door, consider a full lite door. Increase the size of your lights and either paint or sand and stain the front door. A pretty deep blue green would look nice with your bricks. Then find a color close to the bricks to paint the downspouts.

Agree you should at least try to wash the roof. if you're not ready/able to replace it.

Personally prefer to keep a storm door but you could paint it grout gray to make it less dominant.

You could paint the downspout grout gray, too.

You could drastically trim the shrubs and then relocate them to your back or side property boundary, thus clearing space to add a 6' deep flat roof porch across the entire front of the house ... except for putting a small forward facing gable only over the entry door. A concrete floor would be a plus for your porch. Use sturdy square porch posts painted grout gray and spaced to not block the view of/from the windows or front door.

If a porch isn't in your budget, at least trim the shrubs to be level and below window sill height . Painting the garage the same gray as the grout between the brick would make it less dominant visually.

Thank you so much everyone!! Love all these ideas! Can not wait to get started!

I like it! Following. Mostly landscaping... delete the bushes, expand porch and bring walkway across the front attaching to driveway.

Need a bolder statement with front door.

clean the roof, plant some grass seed and cut in some planting beds. Keep it simple and a little layered.
