I think a lot of your problem is how cut off the front door is from the street. Can you extend the walkway directly from the door down past the front of the house on the right?

You would benefit from a nice pathway to the front door! Maybe large scale rectangles with a pebble border, carrying what's under your tree onto you front path. Play up your mid century modern features:

Cd7733's walkway is the second thought I had. My first thought is that you could use a deeper fascia. Can you paint the windows?

The very first thing to do is remove all vegetation (except grass) between the front door and the street. And those stumps!!! The walkway is a good idea, especially since it's replacing vegetation.

Oooo. I’m liking that!! This is getting exciting!

I like Groveraxle's suggestions. I find the light tone paint on the horizontal siding below the windows to be really distracting and odd. I would paint those squares the same color as the wall surrounding it. It will also help call more attention to your door.

Oooh! The wood accent looks really good!

Depending on how much light you get under the tree, you might grow a specimen plant like philodendron selloum.

I like that, too!! I think it helps balance the brick. What does everyone think about the driveway right next to the path? Is it going to lose definition being gray on gray? Maybe a small hedgerow between the two to define it?

No hedgerow. In the rendering above, the rock defines the edge. Or you could do this, but the planting bed in front of the door definitely has to go.

I like it with the walkway better.

I like the grey color in Groveraxle's latter pictures.

I was working on a similar entrance, but that flares to the drive. it has to do that in order to look welcoming.

Don't care for the contrasting panels below windows.

Would make the soffit, gutter, fascia, added header trim above garage door, and entrance trim all white.

Regardless of whether it's kosher, I'd have to add big brackets and some bottom trim to the overhang.

Not showing any landscaping in this pic ... other than, seriously, trim up the tree and get rid of low-hanging limbs and branches.

No hedgerow. No vegetation between the door and the driveway or street.

I like grover's cedar accents. I would add a cedar pergola to lead one right to the front door.

I thought about the pergola too, but wasn’t sure how it would look with the slanted roofline and two story entrance way.

Maybe grover will add one for you to see.

I wouldn’t want the pergola, though I like the walkway or large format steps and no vegetation between the front door and the street. I think the pergola will add shade to an already dark entrance.

I am not fond of the pavers + pebbles for a main walkway because it is miserable for anyone in heels or with mobility issues. Use that style walk for an area that is less used or used without a destination such as a patio. For a main walkway I far prefer an unbroken surface for functional reasons, and with the right choice of materials, it can be lovely.
