What a beautiful, symmetrical home. The porch is gorgeous. Are you near a high traffic area and therefore require screening for the porch?

I would have new headers made for the windows. Then I would paint in a two-tone scheme that highlights some of the architectural details. Here is an interior example believed to be Navajo White walls and White Dove trim. The slight contrast gives a nice emphasis to the details, IMO.

Paint trim a contrasting color. Maybe historical colors. It needs that definition and depth of field.

maybe paint the window trim a bit darker.. otherwise it don't mess with it ..it looks lovely as is apart from the big upstairs window in the middle !

I don't really think it needs anything. You just aren't used to it yet. It's like looking at your living room after you take down the Christmas decorations.

I absolutely love the plain exterior. Your house is beautiful.

Add lots of color to your landscape and that's all you need.

I love it, although I wish the upper window area was more traditional. I don't think you need to do anything else. The railing provides interest. Maybe a long-term landscaping plan. Really lovely home.

Remove the silly oversized upper windows. That's all it needs.

That is an unusual comment. There aren't any "silly oversized upper windows." Wow! It is a lovely home. I personally like it as is and would just work on landscaping. Jeanette, you have done a beautiful job. Congratulations and enjoy your home!

I don't think it needs anything besides maybe some porch furniture and decor. But not too much of that. Plants, furniture, some art or sculptures.

What is the age of the house? I am thinking 1910ish plus/minus.

A big window like that was meant to impress because plate glass was a big deal. Do you think it may have had some leaded glass in it at one time?

Here is a much more modest c.1910 classical revival house with overscaled Palladian window and here although there are divisions in the windows, they are painted dark to emphasize the glass area rather than the divisions.

I think it is beautiful in the current state.

It's a very handsome house. I'd like more contrast between the stucco and the window trim. The entry door seems so dark that its details are indistinct, but maybe that's the photo and it's better in real life. I love the eyebrow arch in the front porch roof line!

That is not a plain house. It's nicely proportioned, has plenty of interest. Adding more stuff will be just adding visual clutter.

Beautiful house. those large windows are not “silly“ and should not be removed. ive never heard of such a thing. im sure they give beautiful light inside as well. i think the only thing it needs is some constrasting trim. Im sure it feels naked to you after you made changes. So lovely.

Paint the trim around the windows a pale gray and the front door needs to be a bright blue. The black door just looks like a black hole. A light blue porch ceiling.

I asked if you need screening because I don't like the tree on the right. It hides the beautiful railing detail and detracts from the wonderful balance of the home. That porch is too lovely to cover up.

Thank you for all the comments, they were really helpful. The tree on the right of the house, I had it moved to the front to give it more space to grow. It’s a beautiful maple tree and I would never think of cutting it down, but thank you.
