Help with exterior look

[Christopher Blanco]

I have a house under contract in a suburb of Cleveland. The only problem, I am having trouble deciding what to do to the exterior. I don't have a huge budget for the exterior, right now I just have budgeted for painting and windows.  Should I remove the "Tudor" looking trim and just paint it all one color? Should I just bite the bullet and have it sided? Any creative thoughts? 

What can I do to dress this exterior up without killing the budget?

You can remove the Tudor trim on the upper level or just paint it into the siding, add shutters and you should be good to go. That should be a fairly fast, inexpensive update. Very nice looking house.
