Proposal of works?

-new front deck

-render entry

-paint roof

-new garden

-new front doors

It looks a perfectly good house, so why might you consider knocking it down? If you are wanting to change the street appeal for resale purposes 4-5 years down the track, or somit appeals more to you?

if you render, is there a particular colour scheme you admire? What colours?

You could have roof sprayed, but Imthink I'd not make it black as that too heat retentive for our climate. Maybe something lighter, but need to work out a colour scheme first.

Your front garden is attractive. Is that a recent photo? Maybe add some colour, and I,like the ornamental tree you added to 2nd photo. Crepe myrtle are lovely choiceoo. Maybe try to repeat plants in small groups throughout the garden.

is deck in back?is it in good repair?

Sorry some words are scrambled...hope it makes sense.

wow Julie that is stunning, how big does it grow

Brick is ok, still being used today so all good there. Entry is fine I wouldn't render it. A lot of new houses are using a similar brick but with modern colours which would work well here.

It is very brown on brown. Therefore repaint the windows, facias, balustrade white. Windows could be black or monument if you want to hide the arched tops a bit more. White or black is very popular and won't fall out of fashion.

Repaint roof in Basalt or perhaps Monument. Painting tile is ok but won't last, certainly less than 7 years. If its leaking or needs a bit of work it could be changed to colorbond.

Change fence colour to Basalt, Monument, etc.

The biggest change should be landscaping. Change the mailbox to a new brick or stone clad structure rather than the existing one that looks like and afterthought. I would have a landscape designer come in and do a plan for me. Doesn't need to be flash plans just hand drawn is ok. Our design was $700 for hand drawn and what she came up with was brilliant. I know where the big structures go like paved areas and retaining walls but what she did with the rest is fantastic. Money well spent!

The house is very exposed to the street. I note you have curtains drawn on all windows which stops you enjoying the garden views the windows should provide and makes the house look asleep. Consider what you can do to provide some privacy such as strategically placed leafy bushes/small trees or a fence. Some of this is already there just needs to grow. Could spend some money on some larger plants, or maybe in pots to elevate initially. . Like the idea of painting all woodwork a brighter color, tying in porch fence too. Start there. Lower cost and can be changed. the windows are dated so could look at changing those if you want a more modern look . Oh and paint the garden shed to match the fence, erring to a darker, recessive, shade. And look at bringing some colorful plants and flowers to draw your eyes where you want it

I agree with a few people that the window frames, fascia and railing could all be painted a cream colour, which would offset the brown brickwork. Also, lots of trees and shrubs, some flowering will soften the look. If your street doesn't get too windy, an Acer definitely will look great. All this would add value to the house when you go to sell. Knocking it down in itself is a big job. Good luck.

The house itself looks perfectly good to me and I don't think you have to do too much. It has a natural long hut look with the emphasis on the horizontal and nice big windows. The things throwing that look off are the verticals in the colour bond fence and the railings on the front porch. Perhaps the fence - could be set back further down the side wall and be a horizontal narrow slat timber fence with some nice plantings in front of it suggested above. The window frames are nice and big and could be picked out in a another colour. White perhaps if you leave the brick as is? Similarly blend the front porch into the horizontal. Rather than just curtains in your windows perhaps a layer of venetians or shutters which will allow light and air in but maintain your privacy? Visually they will add to the street appeal and the horizontal theme. [You can keep your curtains for night time warmth and insulation and open the house up during the day?] Leave the roof it's fine - I think apart from that it's all about the lovely plantings suggested? Cheers.

If you are planning to sell the house in the future there is no need to go to great expense. Is there any reason why it doesn't have a fence between the foot path and the house (so districts have a no fencing policy written into the subdivision rules). I think a picket fence or similar will just finish off the front of the house because at the moment it looks like there is no privacy. I would then plant along the fence line with colour and a few tree's. Alternatively you could replace the fence with a hedge but not make it a high one otherwise you will lose the house altogether.

Definitely paint the window trim. I'd also consider turning part of the front yard into garden beds, you don't need that much grass out the front, and consider a fence and some larger trees to add interest. The landscaping is very bland. Some colourful plants and flowers would make the house feel more welcoming.

I like the general look and 'bones' of the house . I even like the window colours and how it all blends in .

Especially as you are wanting to sell in a few years , I'd be tempted to 'just' paint the gutters , downpipes and the fascia board of the 'point' . If it was me , I'd go for a cream / mild yellow , or apricot if you were 'brave' and lift the overall look , but as you want to appeal to potential buyers , maybe gloss black would do the job better .
