Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Are you open to a larger deck?

I like black at the top with a natural wood color door a deck with steps centered to door and navy on the bottom. leaving the white trim

" I am also considering putting some fusion stone under the patio. "

I would not do the stone at all, if you have youre heart set on it, use it all 4 sides in the same manner. I like the second picture, but how do you use the front porch/deck? If as a real deck than I would make it larger.

Your house could use more prescence since it seems rather small. Will suggest a porch along the entire front of the house. I know that will darken the rooms on the front but you have such large windows you will at least maintain your view. Will also suggest that you move the stair and center on your front door.

I am open to a larger deck, yes.

When you say porch, what do you mean? Also, center the stairs?

Yes, I see. Thank you

I would not add stone. I like your image #3, but would not have a bright white door on the lower level and I'd extend the porch another foot or so on the left so the end of the porch lines up with the divider between the big and small window panes.

I wonder, however, if you can actually build the stairs off to the right. What's the set back?

Yes the deck has to go all across the front. If possible the steps up to meet the door I have no idea why anyone would mix black and navy siding on a house .I like the old windows better than AIs idea. Why does the house next door drive your choices ? I think navy would be nice with the white trim and thsame trim color for the bottom door . I see no windows in the lower level what is thta space ? No stone

That’s a crawl space. I am going to move the door to the side so it doesn’t interfere. Thanks for your help.

I like the idea of a darker house. It grounds the house into the landscaping. As is, the house seems to float on the hill. The idea to extend the porch all the way across will also give the house more weight. Personally, I like the steps off to the side but that's just my opinion. I think it would let you extend the decking around the side so it dies into the hill. Be sure to paint the downspouts to match the house.
