A standing seam metal roof. Double hung windows without any of the muntins (divisions). Stained wood front door with relatively thin styles and rails, and blinds enclosed in the glass.

Ditch the shutters, the arch above the center window, and the trim around the windows. Vertical hardiplank siding with deep battens to cast interesting shadows.. only use brick around the bottom up to the floor level. Consider this..
