I'd paint the garage door and the garage walk in door the same color as the siding.

Highlight the main entrance door with a welcoming color, planter, house number, mail box.

Which is the front door? Can you post individual full size pictures of the elevations and not a collage?

The front door is the one on the deck. The solid brown door is the man door to the garage.

You can just see the bottom of the stairs railing in the 2nd pic. Impossible to get one full length pic as building across prevents me from backing up for better shot.

Lyn has it: Paint garage and "Man" door same color as siding. Focus on creating an inviting front porch with a painted blue door that echoes sky and lake. Add beautiful porch furniture and potted plants.

Differentiate between the driveway and the walkway leading up to the steps with paving stones or flagstone walkway. If you have the budget, you could do walkway/patio goes all the way to the garage door.

Add a wide planting box to cover the foundation near the stairway and keep it filled with plants. All these features will lead to the front door. Make your upper porch an outdoor foyer/entry room with well chosen, tasteful porch furniture.

You could use attractive wood fencing to block the man door/garage cans, so somebody has to walk around it.

Find a way to hide the garbage cans near the "man" door.

Great ideas Lyn! So you are suggesting we add a roof line at the front door and create a porch.

Well if a portico roof over door to help with rain (PNW) was to be considered it needs to be now when roof and siding are being done!

I suggest you start by enlarging all your window frames and the front door frame. If you're not able to do landscaping below the steps, build a long flower box and, if you're not a gardener, plant easy growing plants such as grasses. As suggested by others, I would paint the garage door and side door nest to it the same colour as the siding. SW Oyster Bay is a neutral colour with a green undertone.

Thanks Lisedv. Yes all window frames will be enlarged when the sider comes in. We are serious gardeners and def had thought about the box at the bottom of the stairs. Thank you for the color suggestion.

You do have an overhang over the front door so shouldn't need anything bigger.
