Exterior view only

This is the second competition for 98 McKinley Street in Lake Placid, NY. My small home is currently being renovated. Next year, an addition will be put on. Due to setback constraints and cost objectives, the addition will abut the driveway. I'd love to see ideas on roofing, siding, trim, front porch and step choices to make the exterior more attractive.

Photos and drawings:
1. Realtor's picture of the existing house last winter. The house is being remodeled:
a) The street facing (north) side windows are being replaced with smaller windows (shown in the drawings).
b) On the driveway facing (west) side, the front door and steps are being removed. A window will be in that spot. The new front door will be in the addition.
2. Drawing of the street facing north side after the remodel.
3. Drawing of the driveway facing west side after the remodel but before the addition.
4. Jpeg layout of the house with an addition. Please note that the bathroom window circled in red will not be part of the design.
5. Jpeg layout with dimensions. Please note that the bathroom window circled in red will not be part of the design.
6. Pdf of the drawings for the remodel of the main house (in "other attachments")

8. Updated Google Maps view. The house with the cars and trucks in front is mine. You can see that the front windows have now been replaced in accordance with the building permit drawing for the remodel.
9. Pdf of the elevation dimensions for the main house (in "other attachments").

When designing the exterior, please include the main house and addition (as shown in "Walker Layout dimensioned.pdf" ). Please do not change the layout.

Please do not change the size or style of the windows in the main home. They can change in the addition. Shutters and/or trim might help increase the attractiveness.

All of the siding on the existing house will be replaced per the winning design.

The overall roof shape must stay the same (no addition of dormers) but the shingle style can change or stay the same.

The front porch may be enclosed or not enclosed.

Please show all four exterior sides of the house.

With as much detail as possible, please list the materials and colors of the siding, roofing, trim and doors so that we can find and purchase them in the United States.

The house is in upstate NY, so please choose materials appropriate for a cold climate.
