Not a Pro.

The house is very nice.

It's not the brick that needs updating.

Update the landscaping. Remove Shutters.

Change out front door or change color.

Landscaping is the missing ingredient.
The long boxy hedge accentuates the length of the house. There is no relief from the long and low theme...no trees, no hardscape, no color, no height, no flowers, no interesting forms.
Houzz has hundreds of landscape photos for inspiration. You can save pictures you find particularly attractive into an ideabook for future reference. Then you can work with your local nursery to design a plan for your front yard. Most nurseries will have people who can do the actual planting of trees and large shrubs, or they can refer you to local landscape companies which can provide several services.
This does not have to be done all at once. You will have to spend some money to have trees planted by professionals who have the proper equipment and will guarantee their work.
Does your area get enough rain to support a landscape or do you need to add irrigation?
You will have the best luck with your landscape if you can use native plants and trees or if you use plants and trees which are suited to your climate.
You need to know where you may have water, sewer and power supply lines in your front yard to avoid hitting pipes or sewer lines when locating trees. Your local power company and water company should be able to help you with that information.
Trees need to be planted where they will have enough space to spread out to their expected diameter and height without touching the house, the roof, power poles, street lights or any fencing you may add. Start with decent size trees in wooden tub containers, not little saplings which need ten years to become trees.
Use a few large rocks, some mulch in a few areas, shrubs of different sizes and growth habits, a couple curved planting beds, and some flowering shrubs. Consider plants which don't require a lot of maintenance unless you have time to do more than add fresh mulch every year.
