Put a hanging basket on the table on the porch and a container with something else happy on the other side of the front door and call it a day. That brown won't make or break the sale.

The dark metal frames brings the looks down. Paint them a creamy color - a very light tan. Paint the door at the back of the car port the same color as the siding. Add some colorful annuals.

No shutters for these windows. They look nice.

I would pressure wash the concrete carport floor (or clean it).

Clean everything - super clean. Repair the things you can repair.

Remove the storm door.

Paint the front door an accent color - yellow or green is my preference but there are other colors that will work

Add a few plants in pots to match the front door accent color. Preferably flowers that are colorful.

Add a colorful cushion to the two chairs that pick up the color from the door and the pots or the flowers.

If you can, add an inexpensive paver walkway to the front door. Let me look for one.

Found something that would really work for your home IMO. A very simple concrete paver type walkway like below.

It would be great if you can tie in the color of the pots to the new color of the door, but if you can't see if you can get flowers that work with the color. Or if that isn't possible, then use the terricota pots you find everywhere and multi-color flowers bunched together. The idea is to be open and welcoming and color is the best way to get there IMO. You don't need a bunch. 3 works well as a group like below or you can experiment with a line of potted flowers all along the front on the right. They need to be large and not tiny or you defeat the purpose.

If the above is too bright for you, find a softer shade. Don't go dark on your front door.

Make sure the utility door in the carport is not a featured door. In other words, if you can, have that door recede into the background by painting it a color that matches the carport siding.

Make sure your front door is the one with the colorful accent. You want your front to be inviting. Don't have buyers come in through the side (utility) door.

Your Realtor should be able to give you resources to check that are reasonable in your area.

Don't forget to check apps like OfferUp for free or low cost stuff (like cushions, flower pots - even those pavers).

Ok, here we are with dark trim

and light

difference is not so big when you freshen up front door and landscape.

Power washing driveway is a must. It says “deferred maintenance”. Flowers and colors are vital. Tidy and super clean inside and out. Good luck.

I think you should add color like flowers or repaint your trim

How much of the dark brown metal trim is on the house? Just the part in the Front or does it go around the back and sides of the house too? I would paint it to match the cream siding, especially if there isn't much of it.

For the door in the car port, paint the door and the trim cream to make it disappear. Trim and front door white.

All the way around...

Landscaping will add a lot of color and life to the front. Right now it's just boring lawn all the way up with no flowers, trees, shrubs, etc.

Consider getting rid of the storm door and replacing the front door with something new.

That said, I think painting the siding would make a big difference and you should consider it.

leave the brick as is? It doesn’t look too bad with the shrubs and flowers! 😳 who would have thought! Thank y’all so much for the visuals... it really helps those of us with zero imagination or decor skills.... y’all are the best!

I am loving the green door! Annnndd I also like the orange... annnnndddd I like the bright yellow idea too..... tie breaker anyone??

I was going to try a cobalt blue. I’m glad I asked y’all first.

You don't need to paint the brick. It's a big job and expensive to do correctly. It's hard to get an accurate idea of the siding color. Is it yellow, off white?

If the windows are factory clad in the dark brown color then they were made to be pretty much maintenance free, except for cleaning. Once they are painted, then the cycle of painting begins. The next homeowner might appreciate the maintenance free aspect of them and view that as a positive feature of your house.

Denita- there is a tree straight ahead. Literally straight out from front door.... ill try a curved walkway to driveway

@Amy P, I didn't see the tree.

A curved walkway would work too....I was working off the modern lines of your home.

^This one could work for you....It splits the walkway into two around a landscape feature. A good landscape plan would also plan for the hardscape (walkways).

Katinparadise it looks more yellow due to the brown but when I put up paint samples it’s more wheat colored. SW believable beige matches perfectly. I couldn’t believe it. i always thought creamy ivory. Guess they should’ve called it unbelievable beige! 😂

Although the new walkways look lovely, that kind of improvement is not inexpensive if you need to hire someone to do it for you. It is probably not money well spent. I think the power washing idea will have the most impact for a lot less money.

I think a color like this might be a nice choice.

You may be able to hire someone for a very reasonable work now that a large number of people have been laid off. You want to make sure they have the skills. A walkway and landscaping add a tremendous amount to curb appeal and to the bottom line IME as a Realtor for 40+ years. You don't have to spend large amounts. Just plan first, then execute:)

ETA: It doesn't need to be an elaborate or expensive walkway or landscaping.
