I would try to make it less beige. Remove some of the concrete at the front door area and add some colorful landscaping

Maybe a climbing rose on the brick surrounding the garage window.

I’d be more concerned about what price point you get this house at and how it fits within your overall whole house (interior and exterior) goals. This will not be a ‘farmhouse’ but it’s a solid decently designed house - and yes you could make it less beige. You wouldn’t want to tackle anything major until you’ve lived in it awhile and find out all it quirks, positives and negatives. What bugs you today may end up on the back burner or not even near the burner based on other items of more pressing importance.

I agree that if it is a price, layout and location you like, then get it. In the future, you can consider repainting it to white with black trim on the windows for the “Modern Farmhouse” look. It has similar peaks and features to our house, which is on a farm.

I think you need to share what your budget can handle. IMO the bay windows are not a good look and if they were gone you would be closer to getting a farmhouse look . I think there is too much fake stone everywhere and not in places where real stone would have been used. The more siding you can expose the closer you will get to that modern farmhouse look you like but not a cheap solution so I would get some pricing on removal of the bays , reworking the entry and changinfg the windows to black ones and painting the siding white . Then you will understand how much money is involoved to make decisions about how far to go. I do agree living in the house for a while is always a good idea.

I would go lighter or darker with siding.

I think the detailed bumpouts, stone, big gables and drive are overpowering the entry with its tiny little gable, which appears to be the smallest one on the house. That doesn't seem right, does it?

Go with off-white paint, with black roof and matching black exterior wood trim.

Possibly a darker roof would help to have a feature of the exterior other than beige. But if the home is not in need of new shingles, that may be an unnecessary expense. I agree with the comment that the entry gable is too small. Also making it awkward are the round columns on the square bases that are elevated on the steps.

The roof is original to the house which is 13 yrs old. So a new roof would most likely be in the near future. We are going to put in an offer and hoping on the inspection that possibly a new roof can be negotiated. I do think that a darker roof would help alot. This house is out of state so I can't drive by and verify but I do think that the soffits are also that light beige color. Not sure how easy that would be to change. Can you paint windows to black? Replacing good windows just for the color seems like alot of money to me.

I think it depends on what the frame is made of. Maybe one of the pros can help. Good luck on making your offer!

Better paint companies have paint for vinyl, if that's what the windows are.

We bought this house and turned it into the second one. But we had a healthy budget and bought it for tie bones and location. We’ve since moved and built a home as that’s what we actually wanted big picture. Big changes can happen but you need to either live in it and accept it for a bit, have a healthy budget and a vision of what you want changed, or not buy it and wait for something closer to what you really want.
