1961 Brick Bungalow needs curb appeal

last month

I purchased this home 9 months ago and have been working on the interior to modernize and make it my own. I’ve also redone the garage. I really do not like the color of the brick, or the color of the window and door trim. The windows all need replacing, and the front step is slanted and the sidewalk is cracked. In addition, the soffits for the roof are unusually wide and lie, so I cannot install a front storm/screen door!

I’m overwhelmed trying to decide what to tackle first. I really want to change the color of the brick and trim, but I’m worried about doing the exterior before I dive into the expense of window replacement.

The house is only 1000 sq feet (there is a basement though) but I’m considering adding a large bay window to the front to give me more space for plants etc.

Literally ANY suggestions on color, landscaping, how to fix soffits, etc., are greatly appreciated.
