Your home is lovely, one that most would envy. The only thing that I would change would be the faux Victorian front door. Beautiful!

here are some pics to give you ideas. you could extend the porch off to one side like shown here:

look how they brought the porch up and under the window to the left

they've also painted the brick and shutters, and refinished the chimney.

pic of an almost identical home. Yes, you need a new front door!

a wood one like shown above, or, look at this brick home that's been lime-washed

(or german schmear)

This one^ was done w/Rombaio classico limewash.

a front door like this one, would be perfect for your type of home. I love the beautiful blue color w/this brick too.

In the interim, paint your door and side lites black

Love the lime wash above. if you don’t want to touch the brick, replacing the black railings at the entrance with beefy white wood colonial style railings would bring attention to entrance.
