I like the shed roof treatment best and would use copper for that instead of shingles.

This is made a little differently, but you may be able to use brackets rather than posts - depends upon how much depth you are trying to get.

I like the front porch gable idea from redoredone above. I would definitely not do the cone expansion as I think even the small existing cone takes away from the beauty of your front elevation.

I like the shed roof because the horizontal line it creates nicely frames thatcute window in the gable. Any roof with a “point” in the center does not play nice with that window.

I dont think board and batten is appropriate here, but scalloped shingles in the gable would look nice and echo the shape of the upper window.

I very much appreciate your opinions. A horizontal line, I agree, is the best way to go.

Hands down - I like the shed roof with either copper of standing seam metal roof. Use either posts or brackets.

If you don’t want round posts, I think brackets/corbels might look best.

This looks great. Thanks, again, to all.

You might consider replicating the arch of the window above, but with a little more coverage than these show.
