If we had pictures, that would help us to help you. Right off the bat I myself would paint brick, but that is a long term maintenance issue that you have to be aware of.

Sorry, technical difficulties! I just posted the picture. That was what I was thinking. Here is the photo! what are your thoughts? Thanks!

I'd put in three equally spaced columns as porch supports. You may not need them structurally but they would add visual appeal. I'd add hanging baskets between them.

That is a great idea! I was thinking that and adding a little curved pathway and landscaping around it

Nice home. Congratulations on your recent purchase :)

The three things I would do: 1) paint the front door an accent color, 2) Landscape and 3) add a wide walkway that comes to the front door with a 'branch' to the driveway. It would really increase your curb appeal. There are so many different ways, but I would go in one of these directions below.

Nice home, albeit incomplete -- needs a usable front porch, preferably across the entire front of the house but at least for the right half of the house.

Then landscaping -- after you know where any utilities that might be buried in your front yard might be.

No, do not paint the brick. You destroy the low/no maintenance value of brick when you paint or whitewash or even stain it and, in my view, you decrease the value of the home.

One porch to consider might be this one pictured in the upper right of page.

I love all the ideas and the pictures are really helpful thanks guys!

Any color recommendations for the door? or the siding?

From this distance it's not clear how the front walk is arranged. Move closer and take a panorama that still includes the neighboring houses as background. If no pano feature on the camera, take slightly overlapping pics while standing at ONE SPOT and pivoting the camera between pics.

Would extend the roof several feet -- nearly flat roof extension (w/gutter) all the way across the front of the house -- before adding three posts and would add that porch extension before creating a new sidewalk and/or landscaping.

If you create a porch with posts, you could cover the bottom of the posts with stone or contrasting brick and you could also add the same stone or contrasting brick beneath the windows of your home .

How deep is the overhang?

I would explore having your roof cleaned and the streaks removed.

I like houssaon's rendering. I would clean the roof and then paint the two dormers to match the roof color so they don't jump out so much. If you decide to change the brick, check out Romabio for ideas that will be low-maintenance masonry products and will make a huge change.

Thank you everyone for your feedback! I cannot get certain measurements at this time for the overhang and front patio. I will check out your recommendations, thanks!

The colors of your fascia trim color and dormers siding color work well. Consider keeping those, including for the siding beneath the windows..
