I feel the red bricks really date the house. Any tips on what I can do to improve the curb appeal would be appreciated.

There's no way to give planting advice without knowing where in the world you live. Argentina? Hawaii? London? Seattle?

The red bricks are not really dating the house any more than the architectural style is. It is what it is......a mid to late century ranch style. And unless you do something significant to alter or amend that style, it will still read from that time period. Sure, you could cover the brick with ledgestone or a stone veneer but that is not going to change the style or necessarily "update" it.

I think if you really want to update the exterior appearance, you need to get an architect involved. Any landscaping would necessarily wait until after all that was completed.

I live in southern California. Sorry not mentioning that before. Any advice on landscaping or ways to improve the appearance of the home would be appreciated. Thanks!

wow. that looks really nice. What program do you use to do layout?
