I love this ranch house. the metal can be painted the same color as the rest of the house. a good size column to the right of the overhang would enhance the balance. be sure to keep the front door the focal point of the house by painting it a eye catching color. if budget allows, I would add larger windows.

Don't put a column to the right of the overhang. That would be against the MCM look you are trying to achieve. Change out the front door to a MCM type door, change the gable front to horizontal wood and a little MCM-type landscaping/hardscaping and you will have a wonderful exterior. Take a look at the inspiration pics below for front door type:

Take a look at this MCM renovation - it is stunning. Could be your house too! This one has classic MCM type landscaping and hardscape.

Not only paint you must address landscaping and make it more MCM.

What about the grey in this mid century color palette:

Agree that stone and metal should be painted same color. Front door can be another color from the palette (blue, orange etc)

Get rid of the fence!!

Honestly I don't think you need any paint. The brick looks good and the metal is a cool material contrast. If there is some type of treatment for the metal that can be done, would consider reviewing. Think you should focus on the other items such as lights, front door and landscaping. I'm just not a huge fan of painting brick unless it's an awful color or someone else already painted it.

Is the brick already painted?

A light blue would be a nice color on this house.

I would not paint the brick. I would paint the metal to match the brick. Then get some landscaping advice. I would also remove the planter box near the door.

Paint the garage door to match the brick. Put up wide shutters in a paprika shade.
