I think what's dragging it down is the landscaping. The house itself is fine. I like the colors. Once you hit that bottom stair though,,,,,I think redoing the planters and walkway (maybe w/gray and black cobbles) as well as redoing the lawn would make a difference. The tree limbs my the upper windows should be trimmed and the planter where the meter is should be redone. Maybe try to add some wood elements to warm things up. (Like using redwood for the planter or planter boxes). I know you just painted the door black, and it's fine, but doing a brighter color might change it up a bit too.

Sorry to say but the exterior color choices are bringing this house down. You need light bright off white color for the exterior then some fresh landscape. The door and trim color are fine. At the end some pots with color. Best wishes!

Agree, landscaping needs some life. Not sure what's going on with the window shade, but it looks a little sad. How about a little color for your porch chairs? And what is the star burst thing between the chairs? Maybe a brighter planter by the door? Some easy fixes for a little drab first impression. Good luck.

Replace the porch roof with a standing seam metal roof in a color close to the siding. Paint the door trim black to match the windows and paint the door a deep rusty red. Build a planter under the right window out of the same stone on the side of the porch. Trim the grass.

I agree I like the house the way it is.

You could try lowering the coach lights( idk, 9"?), I would go a little bigger and they are already installed too close to the door, but it may or not be worth the labor costs for that change.

I love the stack stone wall that groveraxle added, its just what is needed here!

you could refinish the concrete too. or add wood floors to the patio and two wood treads to match on that stair.

you could replace the Railing so you'll have proper posts and handrail proportions.
