I do have Khaki siding that is darker than the siding pictured here. Plan on putting it up soon. Thanks for the input.

To balance your house I would install a decorative lattice with widely spaced bars to allow light into the lower level. If budget permits I would change the traditional entrance door with a modern design that suits the contemporary lines of your home and add a flagstone or brick walkway leading to the curb. I would cut two flower beds on each side of the walkway and create a rock garden filled with low growing evergreens, ornamental grasses, and annuals and mulch with pea gravel. Add a small blooming tree on each side of your house. Flower boxes for seasonal color on two windows. Replace grass near the curb with evergreen groundcover . As a picture is worth a thousand words mine is below.

What direction does the house face? Hosta work well under the overhang if they do not get too much sun. The brick columns need removed if possible and replace with your siding or see if they can just cover them and extend to the roof. Nice fixture above the door and contrast the door to downplay the brick. If you love the brick, if you can match it take it up to the roof on the middle floor level. Way to many rectangles on that section of the house.

The English cottage front door must go! I'd suggest a door style that's mid-century modern.
If you like the clean linear lines of modern, I'd consider a fairly large, low front deck, with some linear screening, keeping a low garden bed between the deck and the overhang and basement window, for light down there, of course.
That large box hanging out on the left side needs a strong vertical lift, which can be achieved with an investment in large columnar trees, at least one off to the left, not in front of the box, but away enough that the tree would break the edge of the house.

Oh! I just noticed the proximity of a very large tree next door. I'd scrap the columnar tree and definitely go with a linear screened front deck!

Yes, I see MCM leanings. The siding looks like vinyl, so if you have a replacement color, likely that is better than painting. What about a trellis across the top of the door and as suggested earlier, set at the top of the brick next to the door and window. Changing out the door for something more period appropriate. Change out the accent light by the front door, also. The trellis could be lit with low voltage rope. Here are a couple of suggestions for you, for the items I mentioned--ignore the siding, double doors, sidelites, etc. Good Houzzing.

Big budget ideas from me. Enlarge the 'orphan' window to scale. Replace the siding with timber slats. Render the brick with a neutral colour like grey. Deck/patio in front of front door and window. Pergola with slats along the side facing the driveway to create an outdoor 'room.' (As in above photo.) Replace front window with a modern sliding door or something like the double doors in that same photo. New front door in timber or dark grey. Rock garden to create a border between the properties and crushed white granite/pebbles in front of the lower window. Coupla Japanese maples (uplit) in the pebble area. clumps of strappy grasses too and you're done. (You might also be bankrupt!)

I like Sweet Caroline ideas in placing flower boxes on the two windows. You can use copper planters. These indoor or outdoor planters are constructed of sturdy fiberglass and coated with a real copper outer layer. You can also make use of cupolas. They have been used to ventilate and enhance the appearance of homes and other structures for centuries. A well lit structure can enhance as well the appearance of your home. You can choose either a hanging or post lantern for your home to give it a shining edge!
