Here are a couple of the AI photos - let me know what you think?

Keep the brick, it looks better than the stone. Keep the windows white, the black looks bad.

What is Greystone vertical siding? An image will help others understand.

Note some of the enhancements AI made. Larger columns and bolder trim around windows and door. Paneling the bay. These things help minimize the large blank wall.

I see vinyl siding in one of your images. It's really difficult to detail vinyl so it looks good -- it will always look like vinyl siding.

No shutters is all I can say without seeing the new siding and I have no clue why vertical at all or gray for that matter. I would not paint the brick either since IMO that will instantly devalue your home . If you must do vertical the all or none

I’d vote for white trim and no stone - a simpler facade ages more graciously, add drama and interest with landscaping

Keep it the same on all sides. Dont do vertical in front and horizontal elsewhere

I do like vertical siding for your home but would vote for no stone. The stone skirting breaks it up too much visually. My vote would be to keep the brick as it is now or white wash it. AI changes the brick and makes it more uniform than what you actually have but with some added decor I think you can steer the eye away from that. You could cover the brick with the vertical siding but I think it’s more interesting with the brick.

I like what Emily's done for you but I think keeping the brick its current color is better. A light bottom and dark top on a house always looks like it's not grounded to me.

I like your third photo.

One more color? This is James Hardie Woodbury Sage. I like it with white windows and an expansive gray roof, like yours.

Very prettt but we already ordered the Greystone

I would definitely keep the brick and go for a neutral / earth tone on the siding. https://www.buildersservicecompany.com/what-are-the-best-home-exterior-colors
