Looks more like the back than front. Deck, 2 doors, windows randomly place, trash can etc.

The white frames of the slider and kitchen? window are also distracting.

A more direct approach (not from the end) to the door via a landscaped yard, maybe via several smaller decks would help direct attention to the entry. Painting the door a brighter/lighter color will help greatly.

Consider painting the body of the house as well.

The lattice under the deck could fit better, and maybe paint it and the foundation a darker shade of the body color, or just paint the lattice the trim color to help it recede.

Maybe a water fountain is what you are looking for? This will make it more inviting & bring more curb appeal. See more at https://www.soothingcompany.com/water-fountains/outdoor-fountains.html
