Look at doors with panes across the top that mimic your windows. For landscaping, I would start by trimming or removing the plantings next to the door that are hiding the house.

A door with 3 lites across similar to this one could work.

So first remove all the overgrown evergreens. They are shot. That will expose your lovely home.

Why would you want to replace the front door if everything is intact? I would not leave it white.

Have the door and the sidelights stripped, sanded, primed, and repainted. Find a new fixture for over the door & add simple iron railings to get up and down the stairs.

I don't see anything wrong with the door except for the color. Not sure you need to have it stripped to repaint. I like the color Bev shows or maybe a greenish/grey. I would paint the door and sidelights the same. If you're set on replacing, the door Chloe posted would look good. The trees/shrubs need to go for sure. I suggest taller planters in a color flanking the door.

I agree with BeverlyFLADeziner. Love the curved railings. Like charcoal for the door in a semi-gloss.

Once you remove the overgrown plantings, you'll see this gorgeous house.

Such a beautiful well kept house!! It’s truly magnificent.
The door isn’t terrible. You can replace it... or just paint this one.
Honesty id invest in the porch , landscaping and walkway first...

Thank you for the very helpful suggestions! The landscaping definitely has to go and we do need to replace the door (some wood rot at the bottom of the side lights). We think the house originally had double doors rather than a single door with sidelights. Any thoughts on that option?

Love that idea but you’ll definitely need to extend the porch if you go that route. The one door happens to look great too...

What a lovely home and I‘d honor/enhance its historical charm.

- A single door would be my choice with beautiful decorative glass sidelights (all the way down) and new door painted black.

Add urns

Re garden: Pull everything out and I think boxwoods would be perfect. They stay green all year and depending on soil, sunlight, etc, hydrangeas are classic and so pretty. I’d head to a nursery to discuss the best options for a traditional garden best suited to the conditions.

Be sure to replace the tiny lantern light with something a bit more beefy.
