This new to me house is builder brick boring.

I need help visualizing how to make it nicer.

Thoughts - dislike dark red brick. I have heard of limewashing and some houses in the next neighborhood over have that look. Im not sure if thats diy or $$$? So far havent found any companies offering that

The window next to the garage is not centered under the gable and it drives me nuts (i like symmetry). Is there a way to draw less attention to this? Ive seen some houses with gable vent in that area - would that help? Other ideas?

garage door - hate its cream colored. I thought about painting gutters a darker color, along with the garage door.

Landscaping will be added as well

i like craftsman or cottagey looks if that helps with ideas
