It is a double front door, so flipping it is not an option.

Do a small wall, then put book cases or a mudroom bench or something along the wall opposite the front doors; the stub wall will then help define a space around the bookcase or bench.

I'd build in something that looks intentional around the pole. Maybe tall shelving with a wall that hides the pole like this, connecting to storage that acts as an entry table.

build a wide coat closet that fills the width of that entry wall, which would conceal the post. make it as shallow as possible, but at least deep enough that a puffy coat on a hanger would fit. give it sliding doors to save space. not sure if that area can fit a closet though? it's hard to tell from your pics.

the closet would be the first thing you see when you walk in, so the doors should be something special. such as this, but not see-through:

not suggesting a barn door for this, I just like the woodwork:
