Could you post more pictures? Some you took -- not Google.

Yes, one with car not parked in the street.

Much could be done with landscaping. One of the reasons we landscape is to enhance the view of the house and emphasis a house's best features. The goal is not to hide the house. I removed the sidewalk hedge as in my opinion the property is not deep enough for such a hedge. I also scribbled out the plants hiding the porch. The porch is the best feature and should be maximized, not hidden.

I like the slanted roof and painted the fascia a lighter color to draw attention. I left the middle as I was discouraged by the sag. The sagging roof is a worry. If you have not purchased this house I recommend a full inspection and looking into the cost of fixing the roof. Roof changes are expensive.

Thank you so much, everyone. Emmarene, I love how the house looks with your changes!
