At a loss - What to do with the front of my house?

9 years ago

Houzzers, I'm on a new mission to upgrade the front of my house, but I'm at a loss of where to start, I can't even figure out what style my house is to search for the right inspiration!

We will likely be painting the house and re-shingling the roof soon, so I have options there but am also open to any other changes that could help this plain home!

My knee jerk reaction is that the roof above garage is wrong. The pitch of it plus its empty expanse needs some adjustment(s). Dormers maybe...not sure

In the 2nd & 3rd pics it's hard to tell exactly what you have on ledge in front of window, but i'm liking it

Along the driveway edge you might like a rail fence or a rock wall

A lighter neutral colour for the siding (gray with a beige tone) and a darker grey for the shingles may be something to consider. Soffit lighting would look nice too. Instead of matching the eaves to the shingles, why don't you try a coordinating colour to accent the roof lines.

Paint the outside? Is that shingle? If so, I would paint it a medium grey & do a black roof. Take off the shutters. I would put a Japanese maple to the left of of the left front of the entry walkway. Paint the garage some color as house. Go with a contemporary look exterior.
