New front door a differnt color I would do new wood garege doors with some glass for sure and maybe a matching front door also with glass. Then address the landscaping with some color some big planters filled to overflowing with seasonal plants insted of little pots and spindly plants

Your house has a unique character, good character. What is missing is the house color and front landscaping does not show off that unique architectural character well at all. Those domes on the roof need to shine.

Beige paint has no personality ever under any circumstances. Choose another actual color and paint the existing front and garage doors with a color that flows.

The landscape style needs to be modern, even cubist leaning. Maybe the left side bed needs to expand all the way to the path and ditch that section of lawn. The matching plants on the front entry sides are not working. Too weak. Too formal. I keep seeing two topiary wax leaf Ligustrum with clean trunks and oval UFO crowns at the roof line flying in formation with the back domes on the roof One at the garage corner, the second in the center of the left bed. The rest of the front planting would be mostly a low groundcover height mix of strong plant textures.

I love boxwoods, olive trees and large pots.

It looks like the doors have an interesting detail. Could you show a more close up photograph of the entrance?

You just need better landscaping to balance the unique style of the home.

Thank you for your suggestions!! Front door is a pale greenish color and the house itself is a pale gray/whiteish. Here is the front door. House is on a river so the back of the house has lots of windows - it’s the front that just lacks interest

What a fantastic home! Your front doors remind me of these front doors:

I think the green paint takes away from the impact of the front doors. Consider stripping the paint to get to the original wood details.

I agree that the landscaping style needs to be more modern like Christopher explained in his post above. That would make a world of changes to your front.

Yes............Those doors would be so much better in the bronze or a blackened finish.

LOL the "experts" that advised a NEW door obviously had not seen your FABULOUS door!! I hope you SCOFFED at the suggestion to change it!!! It is FOR SURE a FEATURE you would never want to let go of!! IMHO it is the flat roof, as they aren't as interesting as turrets and angles. I think you need landscaping that plays well with that and my sense is you might need a professional landscape designer to know what's best. I am getting a bit of an Asian vibe so maybe you want to go more zen with the front scape?

Develop a threshold between the circle drive and the front entrance. Remove the asphalt apron at the entrance and introduce a new contrasting paving material, such as stone or brick, that leads to the front porch. Colorful beds and large bold planters on each side of the doors will draw the eye, adding color and distinction.

I'm wondering if you could glaze the door with a wood stain to bring the design out better.

I think I might fill the beds to the right of the door with flat pebbles in a Japanese style. Instead of a bed filled with plants add only a few plants.

It would help to relocate the two large shrubs in front and use repetition with new plants.

I love the sidelights. You want to emphasize the entrance as much as possible.

I like the soft green of your doors, it plays so well with the sidelights. As Van Zeist pointed out, the abundant asphalt is dragging your style down. Changing your doors won't change the asphalt. Do something to divorce that driveway from your lovely house.

It’s a lovely home. I would suggest new garage doors, modern with frosted glass and silver frames to match your metal roofing. Update the exterior sconces, they are a bit too 90’s, and those at the front door are a little oversized. The door is unique, keep it but update the hardware to a brushed nickel, modern. It looks like a deep handle setback, so that will be a challenge, but Google searching it will get you what you need. Mid century resources may help, as a lot of doors back then had deeper hardware setbacks. Add some large colorful pots to flank the front door steps. if you can, remove the front walkway and adjacent foliage, and make it narrower to create interest to draw your visitors to your door. Update the landscaping with more formal specimens to go with the formal lines of your home. Consider large offset poured pavers with pebbles between for the front path, this creates visual interest and also mimics a stream experience that compliments the other side of your home. Good luck!

This is one of those homes, where I feel like you could do almost anything and still have room to do more.. because of that, I feel getting together with a designer would save you time and money in the long run.
