Suggestions for the front of this house

[Sylvia B.]

We just bought a property - actually, closing on it tomorrow. It's bank owned and has some issues. Former owners did some changes to the front porch and siding. They removed part of the white vinyl and replaced it with pine, stained an orangy cedar color. Why they didn't go all the way to the corners is anyone's guess.

So what would you do with this, other than the obvious repairs that are needed?
