Oops! Those are small windows, high on the wall. They are maybe 7 ft off the ground and short vertically but long horizontally. It would be great to keep them as they are the only windows in the BR. They can't be made taller like a standard window because of a roofline on the other side of that exterior wall.

Have you looked into Miele? Sounds like they make units that would fit your requirements -- , quiet, size of side by side/dual compressors you want. I'm also at early stage thinking so no experience with them for fridge/freezer. But I did just see their separate units used side by side with some kind of joining kit, in a showroom. Was impressed with the interior of the Miele, very drawn to it. Don't know their track record for this appliance, though I am inclined to trust them after owning other Miele appliances and given them HEAVY use for 12 years here, have been very very pleased. In terms of fridge-- I've had a smaller Liebherr unit for 12 years now and while I really like some things about it, there are other drawbacks that put me well off buying another, though they may have improved these since I'm not taking a flyer on that (quality of seals, situation with the drain in the interior, frost build in freezer). https://www.miele.ca/en/Product/Refrigeration

Cpartist did an awesome job on this. Either one of her designs works well. I agree that it should either be brick and siding only, or stone and siding. I say that as someone who has brick, stone, and siding (which was originally painted three different colors when we bought) on her house. All of the new builds in our area are exactly what you're describing, but that doesn't mean they look great. When I see a house done simply and with taste, it stands out to me because it's so rare to find. Really think on CP's designs. I think that you'd be glad that you did.

I am currently painting my exterior Colonnade after losing a lot of sleep and 12 paint samples later. Anew was my 2nd choice, but it is a little dark for my house and has purple undertones in certain light. I think Anew or Colonnade would look great with your rock. Definitely paint samples on different sides of your house and obviously by your rock. Lighting and fixed structures make a huge difference.
