You need to make it obvious that the way into the house is up the stairs. Hence, somehow emphasize the foot of the stairs with landscaping and color. Could you continue the wall to the other side of the driveway? We need a better photo of the entrance to the stairs. Could you have the stairs rebuilt so that the steps aren't so high and hence that the bottom step comes out into the driveway. You could also widen the stairs to emphasize them and perhaps have a spot for a planter on the bottom.

Could you share better pictures of the front of the house? I would relocate the bushes blocking the entry and open that area up.

I like the color palette of the house you posted as one you like. I can see enough of the whole property to help much. But, I could see a small low cedar linear half wall to the left of the stairs with large stainless house numbers and perhaps a small arrow pointing up.

Can you stand in your street and take a photo of the full front of your home to post? It’s hard to tell what we are looking at here in relation to anything else.

A wall or fence section only lower with your street address. Then repeat that wood for new wood garage door. Might add some trim up above garage too to break up that wall and continue linear lines.

More photos, please.

Some ideas to consider incorporating and lights that will work if you want to upgrade but preserve the feeling of the ones you have now.

Here is mock up with body of house SW Cyberspace and linear lights. I also made garage door wood or wood look. Small side wall to repeat wood with large stainless house numbers. A tiny down light over numbers would be great if possible for night time. Looks like deco and I are on the same page!

More option

Soffit lighting to wash down the walls, or landscape wall wash lighting to light up the walls. Surface mounted step lights would help a lot too. People often neglect the use of landscape lighting it can really be a guide. also path lights might help. for the front door I would do up/down lights, as again they will light up the foot path at the door and wash the area with light with out being in your face.
