I meant that we are going to paint the brick! Smh!

What color are you painting the brick?

Are you painting the yellow areas too?

What kind of landscaping?

Yes painting brick and the areas that are yellow! Possibly a cream color!

Thought about changing the roof line, but not sure how!

Also taking out the French doors and bricking that area with windows! All of the windows will be replaced with standard size windows!

That roof line is classic! Don't destroy it; it's part of the value of the house. There was a similar house with wings on this board a little while ago that looked like a bomber.

Which suggests to me..... I think I would look up a TON of similar houses so you can get some ideas about how to address those exterior features.

Your boomerang house is awesome FUN! But it needs a better landing area (aka yard), a new more architectural pathway to the front door. Those mini-bushes are cramping Boomer's style.

Could you please post some more photos? Closer up? Further away? Driveway?

How do I search more houses like it! So is that what it’s called a “Boomer” house?

No, I made up the part about calling it "Boomer." But "boomerang" lends itself to fun stuff. OK, Boomer(ang)?

I'd do the yard before anything else. It's dragging down poor Boomer.

I'm thinking the style must have been on purpose to have those short windows. Do you have bigger windows on the other side?

This house has so much personality!

Put solar panels on that roof in the middle.

Boomerang-influenced architecture (I'm not kidding, it's a thing): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googie_architecture

Yep, looks like you've got yourself a Googie wannabe.

LOVE those windows, they "fit" the style and allow more wall space for furniture.

It has standard windows on the back side of the house!

Step 1: Read up on mid-century modern style. Your ranch has lots of character that should be embraced! I recommend checking out https://retrorenovation.com/ to gain an understanding & appreciation of the old-school looks!

Step 2: Tackle landscaping. A lush green lawn would do wonders, but you could go all-out and hire a landscape designer who gets the vibe and can highlight the architecture with harmonious plants. A funky house can pull off funky plants! The current shrubs are too plain & ordinary. The walkway to the front door should have more presence as well; it currently just blends into the grass in a boring straight line.

Step 3: I would paint the parts that are currently yellow a crisp white or grey instead, then go bold & bright on the front door. Maybe orange or turquoise.

That's it!

Additional thoughts:

• Do NOT change the roofline, it's your home's best feature.
• Painting the brick could work, but I'd advise against it unless I saw all the above changes first and you were still unhappy.
• Unless the windows are structurally unsound, I would leave them as-is. If they must be replaced, definitely do not replace them with "standard"/traditional ones! Replacements should be in keeping with the architectural style.
• I'd love to see the inside!!

I was all about aqua on the carport.... I would take a look at retro stuff to explore colors.

I'm glad other posters see this as a gem the way I do! The OP got a diamond in the rough that can increase its value from the outside very quickly with cosmetic changes.

Yep, don't get rid of the windows. They are very "Jetsons".

Don't paint the brick: if you do, it'll keep that unique roofline from standing out!

Focus on the landscaping right off the bat. It will completely change how the house looks, can be reversible if necessary, and might give you ideas about what the house "needs."

Inside, you might want to add a couple of "sputnik" lights and other little details. These are VERY current right now.

Show us the inside! This house is sooooo cool!

I love your house! I am currently living in an antique farmhouse from the 1700's but I would love to get a mid-century clean line house like yours next time around. Please reconsider leaving in the French doors. I'm not sure what kind of street you live on and if you would want a patio on the front, but If I were you I would build a pony-walled patio leading out from the french doors, extending across the right side of the house. You can have a dining table, bbq grill and outside living room on the patio.

IMO painting brick will instantly devalue that house it so cool get black framed windows paint the yellow parts a nice gray/ green a bit on the darker side and then get to work on some really cool MCM landscaping Get a MCM garage door and front door embrace the style you have instaed of ruining it with slappingon paint . This is always one of my favorite ideas for MCM landscaping and easy to maintain too I love the idea of the patio our front but those french doors need to be replace with sliding ones also black framed a front patio was often part of MCM design

Do you have any more photos of windows and the front door area?

You have a very very cool house. It is cool and its fun. Please do not change even one thing until you actually research your style house. Its very unique, dont ruin it by trying to make it what it isnt.

Atomic ranch is the style. There is a mag site dedicated to updating these without loosing the mid century space race architecture. You may not find a picture just like your home but u will find design elements that will help with curb appeal updates

OK BOOMER! (just had to say it, sorry!)

anyway, agree with PPs -- it's a midcentury, and it's awesome! I beg you to try to keep it period appropriate as possible. we'd need to see clearer pictures to help you better, including closer pics of the front entrance for details.

The line of the carport is great, too. It makes that leg symmetrical with the other one.
