No shutters they make no sense at all, get rid of the peach and try to paint the peach part as close to the brick in tone as possible

Embrace the style of the house. Do some landscaping and update the stair handrails. Find a good color for the front door. Agree about changing the peach to match the brick color.

Thank you, all! I agree about the shutters. I was just trying to think of an example of something small I could afford to add. I’m interested to read that I should go with a paint color similar to the brick tone. My first thought was, “white!!”. So glad I asked!

What about building out a frame around the windows? Or adding peaks or rounded tops? Similar to the home Denita shared?

I would not recommend peaks or rounded tops! Take that money and remove the fake mansard altogether. The house has nice proportions and the mansard roof just makes no sense. It's really a flat roof above isn't it?

Since removing the mansard is probably not within your budget- paint, new stair railing, and landscaping all make sense.

Weil Friedman Architects, yes it is so flat! Thank you for your help!

This looks completely different- can you post some more photos?

There’s one of the side of the house up there and then the one I just posted of the back porch area. Unfortunately, I don’t have one of the entire back of the house. I could drive by later and sneak a picture!

The roof is not flat in the part of the house last posted. There seems to be a little addition to the right and the roof seems pretty funky on this portion. Make sure you get someone reputable to inspect this house before you buy it.
