My first reaction was where’s the front door? Then I saw the path - so assume it’s behind the tall evergreens…. Can you post another photo from a different angle?

If the tall arborvitae are blocking the entryway I would address that. Rest looks quite nice, what kind of updates do you feel it needs?

What are you thinking? Budget? DIY or hiring out?

Do you own it, considering buying it? What do you not like about it? Paint, new roof, landscaping, new interior window blinds all change the look of a house. Can you be more specific?

Aside from the wonky tree, I think the landscaping is really great. I'd seriously trim, prune that doorway tree before considering removing it. I don't think the architecture of this house is beautiful but I think it actually has great curb appeal considering. Someone did a good job here already.
