The steps seem small and temporary, as if they were preformed and dropped off the truck in front of the door. Have you investigated building a small porchlet with a bigger landing area at the house door, then adding new steps onto it leading down to the sidewalk? You have plenty of room. Google ”adding porch to a split level house.”

Composite would be fine, IMO.

Thank you littlebug I'll check that out.

Don’t know if this could be done with composite - might need to stick with cement. But, what about extending landing out to at least edge of window on left & making curved steps up to it? This would allow step up to porch from the sidewalk running along front of house - might need to widen that ground level sidewalk to make the transition. Seems like a railing might be needed in the center - not sure how that would work. Agree on a new color for front door. The same dark color as trim on house? Black railing too. Really nice job on the new siding,

Siding looks great! We don't have a lot of knowledge on composite but would like to add to your comment about painting the door. Something with color on the front door would be beautiful and brighten up the exterior. If you have any flowers or shrubbery that blooms in bright colors in your landscaping you could consider pulling a color out of the flowers and painting that onto the door for some continuation. Something like this;

Or if those are too bold, go a few shades lighter in whatever color goes with your exterior.

Thank you Cossart Design! Love your colored doors and the idea to match them with a plant or shrub. It's actually ironic though, as I ordered a wisteria last fall for our back yard so maybe I'll rethink where it's going.

Thanks again,

Thank you KW!

I really like your idea about the curved steps and extending it out to the window! I totally agree with you on the black railing and door also.

Thanks KW,

I would go with overhang/porch to the left side and widen steps.

Hmm ok thanks Celery

Wow! @simplynatural mockup looks wonderful!

Thank you simplynatural, the wider step looks so good! Great options.
