And also could you face the entrance wall and take a panoramic picture of the whole house including additional space at each end? (If you don't have a pano feature, line up with the center of the house and pivot the camera to take slightly overlapping pictures. Don't change location between pictures.)

You need:

A Mason

A landscaper

An alternate place to store the boat/truck during the off season. Or a new driveway will not last long.

Your stoop is confined to the limited shelter provided by the second story, but need not be limited to that area.

Note: Since I see a side view mirror and tree in the picture...? That pic IS "from the street"

I agree with Jan all the things she mentioned need to be taken care of . I am waiting for the rest of the pictures. That boat storage area is just an eyesore right now

Thank you for the comments. I will find a storage yard off site.This photo is from the driveway near the street. There is the tailgate of a large pickup truck in the driveway at the right edge of the photo. I appreciate the suggestions on how to improve the entry and the drive. Any suggestions on the architectural appearance would really be appreciated.

The over hang is so low over the door. Is there anyway to open up that section? Is there a closet in that space on the second floor?

I wonder if you could bring the door forward and enclose the space. Have the steps and the walkway to the door straight on instead of from the side. Then add a small curved portico.

Thank you for this great suggestion. I will see if I can develop it in a way that fits. That might make the entry directly into the living room rather than the foyer as it is now.
