I would remove the shutters. They're improperly sized and really don't belong on this house. Then I'd work on a landscape plan to include a walk from the front door to wherever it is you go.

I'd start by painting the siding white and the front door robin's egg blue.
Consider adding a front porch with a pergola and planter, or maybe a patio.
