This is anew build? The easy way to make a door look like an entry door is a walkway from the street to the door . I do not like mixed colors for windows and in this case the black patio doors look like you couldn't decide .I see very little difference between 1 and 3 . I like the doors in #2 since they look more like entry doors . What is the entertaining space at the front of the house ? The style is more modern farmhouse than MCM so IMO pick one . I guess I need more info.

Thanks Patricia. FYI This is not a new build and nothing is ideal...Garage faces the street and the front door originally faced the backyard! We're moving front door to side and put in a walkway from drive parking area to entry door. We will also have an arbor/fence between driveway and entry door to further define. The difference with 1 and 3 are the grills. I do like the full glass options and the more modern look of 1 (have seen this grill mix successfully done on other homes) but wonder if its right for this house. The inside of the house is more modern than traditional - vaulted ceilings, beams, minimal moldings, some shiplap. My last house was over 100 years old so it was a no brainer for style. This one is alittle trickier.

Do you really need windows flanking the doors? They look crowded and the lights look stranded.

Thanks for your input. Yes I need as much glass on that side since it functions as an entry and a patio door to entertaining space. I did wrestle with the idea of separating the windows from the door and put lights in between. There will be a small roof going across overhead to tie it all together.

Here are some single-story entries for reference. Please don't move the lights too far away from the doors or the light will not be where you require it. You might consider a door with sidelights attached instead of separate windows.

Thank you for taking the time to collect these and respond! Yes considered sidelights but the max is 14" wide, which doesn't give me enough glass for the location. Also thought of using triple door but although the amount of glass is great for a patio door doesn't say entry door and lights would be too far from door. (there will also be some recessed lighting overhead in small extended roof, not shown) I do love the look of a double door entry but after your comments may re-consider a wider single door with sidelights!

I prefer #3 Don't mind the mix of colors.

Do you have foliage near the entrance?

Thanks Lyn, yes eventually planning planted pots, maybe small topiary trees, on each side of door and a garden bordering patio. Previous owner left us with quite a few odd design situations to deal with. It's definitely a work in progress.
