Widen your path, possibly flank it will plants. Improve your foundation plants to the left. Those little balls look pretty sorry.

Don't take a craftsman-style porch onto a house that has no craftsman elements and that overhand.

Craftsman wouldn't suit. I'd remove all the shutters, Yes, a new door, bolder light fixtures,

and a pergola running the length above the jut out.

What type of door style would match best?

Here are some ideas. I think you need a bolder color for the door. Your blue is too pale. I prefer the sidelights painted the same color as the trim

Thank you jck910! That first door is exactly what I envisioned. What style would you say this is?

That's the one I have. It's considered colonial.

Here’s a rough mock-up without shutters, a stained wood door, and larger sconces. I also removed the Japanese Maple because I feel it‘s planted too close to the foundation. I also agree with others who’ve mentioned widening the path and implementing a new landscaping plan.

You require a better paint scheme for your home. See the example below.

This is a Garrison Colonial house. You have a few more parts, but that is what yours started as.

Wow! This is such a similar structure to mine. Thank you for sharing this.

Love jck’s first door since the glass mimics the rest of your windows. Nice!

Widening the path (no planting either side of it) and improved landscaping will make a huge difference.

I’m reading everyone’s suggestions and really appreciate them all. What I’m gathering is that in your opinions the porch would not be the best way to improve the look? Rather I need to focus on the landscaping instead?

Yes to landscaping improvement and new door and color scheme. No to porch.

Do you have suggestion for landscaping? I’m lost.

With pictures of your house and a diagram with measurements go to a local nursey (not big box store) and they will make recommendations for your specific zone

Wow!! Thank you simplynatural! This makes the house look completely different. I really like it and never would’ve been able to come up with this on my own. I really appreciate your suggestions. It has my mind thinking in different directions than before.

Here are a few suggestions:

Thank you Dig Doug’s Designs. A gazebo has always been talked about but we never could place how we could get it to fit in. Having a visual helps so much. The landscaping is beautiful and would definitely draw me to hang out in my front yard more often.

It is unclear to me if the roof line from the left side bump out (teal window covering) can be brought across the front of the house as indicated in the simulation. The pitch of the roof might interfere with the second floor windows above the front door area. But the idea is a good one to consider.
