Why halogen lights?

I also have to find house numbers regularly (I'm a Realtor) and Joseph Corlett is right - have them large and illuminated and on the mailbox and the house. It is irritating to search for a property and find no numbers, no sign and then have to calculate the likelihood that I am choosing the right house to show to potential buyers. It happens more often than you can imagine especially in neighborhoods where there is an HOA and no signs are permitted and many of the houses look alike! However, the EMS service or other emergency service teams are a more important consideration. Keep the numbers large, simple font and illuminated with high contrast. Now, on to the shutters. They aren't sized right for your windows at all. Please read these two articles so you know what works. Yours shutters are too skinny. I do like the color of the shutters - but they could be much better if changed to the right size with hardware so they are functional looking: https://www.lifeofanarchitect.com/residential-architecture-101-shutters/ http://www.oldhouseguy.com/shutters/ ^See how the shutters are sized to each cover half of the window? Plus they have hinges and shutter dogs to make them look functional. These particular shutters may or may not be functional...but they look like they could cover the window.

I am wondering why you do not run the porch all across the front of the house and since you are going so contemporary with the light I would at least change the railings to glass and metal . As for a mailbox a simple stainless one . I can’t see your front door but usually I am not a lover of dark gray with brick. If you do not need the storm door except for air movement in the summer I would remove that so we can see your front door and then just install a phantom screen .

Many thanks to everyone for their suggestions and advice! It seems that there are two seperate, but related, issues here: where the sign looks best aesthetically and whether the numbers are visible from the street. And a few things that can’t/won’t be changed: the house is built, albeit with a slightly off center front door, the sign is purchased, the lights are installed. In regard to the aesthetics, while I appreciate all the suggestions, I still think it looks best near the front door. Placing it under the light was a good idea, but it just didn't look right to me, so i am back to my original placement somewhere to the left of the door. In regard to the numbers being visible from the street, if they aren't, we will definitely have the house number engraved on the stone by the driveway (will probably do this anyway). And the car headlights shine on this from the street, so it is very visible at night. The numbers over the mudroom entrance were put there so we could get our CO. I had originally planned to take them doen when we hung the other sign, but with all the comnents about visiblity from the road, i thought we could just leave them. But after the comment that it was odd to have two sets of numbers, we will go back to the original plan and remove them.
