It’s an adorable home. I’d change the front door to a more modern, sleek door (look on Houzz for “modern door”). Perhaps paint the whole house a darker grey, white white accents. Add modern light fixtures and mailbox.

You’ve got a fairly large yard, so I’d consider installing a modern looking, horizontal fence 1/3 of the way between the yard and street to define the area. Here in California Lowes carries a 4’ high horizontal fence panels. They installed so quickly!

How about adding a large, square colorful pot (red or bight blue?) planted with a flowing, large grass?

Watch “Hidden Potential” on HGTV. The designer turns cookie cutter homes into stand-out contemporary homes.

Good luck!

For starters, nix the shutters. Improve the landscaping. The house has nice clean lines, but the roofline is not MCM. Just needs a few tweaks.

I think it is a Florida hip roof cottage. I'm not crazy about shutters on the modern windows; I would add thicker trim without shutters. These cottages are for color suggestions. depends on what your neighborhood allows.
