I would definitely recommend spending most of the money in renovations on the kitchen, bathroom, and exterior (siding, paint, landscape). 

I’ve owned a dozen properties for almost 25 years and I’ve spent less than $500 on roofing, and zero on exterior siding/painting.

If it's a vinyl window, or if you could swap out the existing window for a vinyl window without much hassle (e.g. if it's on the first floor and you have easy access to the exterior), then waterproofing the inside shower area around the window would be much easier.  

black top the driveway and trim the existing landscaping and paint the exterior and it will look great
