You might go with a french porte...a lift garage door that looks like french doors....

This is link to doors Im too pick from:

http://www.thermatru.com/products/entry/fiberglass-entry-doors/ss/index.aspx

Attached are some samples I 'designed'. Wondering if number 1 and number 7 would be good matches

I like 8 & 9 but think fear they are mismatch for rest of house and will draw too much attention to the door when we consider left porch to be the focal point.

OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS, appreciate any help

Thanks for the french porte suggestion but I shouldve first posted that link our contractor provided for us to pick door.

This is practically a faux front door

EDIT----
its more for access to underhouse storage and passage to back yard although is at interior stairs to 2nd level but its location makes us want it to look more like proper front door while matching house front)

I would think another window to match the two above if you want the house balanced.

Seems like a waste of money to me. Why not put some plants there? 3 tall evergreen types in pots or tall flowering something. Or some trellis's with climbing vines or something to balance out all the blue rather than try to balance out the windows.

I'd just plant trees.

I agree with the landscape ideas. It will be confusing to visitors to have a fake front door and it isn't necessary.

I would do a window or plantings as others have suggested. I think putting a door there would confuse guests who would think it is the main entrance to the house.

Thank you but door is a must - too impractical not to have it.

The house is 65 foot long and this will be the only entry to front of house on the ground level to access both storage and back of the house.

TO CLARIFY, SAID DOING it as front door to balance house versus a discreet front ground entrance thats not as nice as a front door. I will clarify initial statement.

If someone did come to house unknown would rather they came to that door (where we could come down interior stairs) then have them just come up on our front deck. Family / guests otherwise will use front deck.

Sorry that wasnt clear
Really would appreciate input on a door.

A vote for #6 -- BUT with plain windows ....

Thank you teacats

Based on your clarification, I'd put in a plain front door with clear-view side panels (I guess what teacats said). It needs to be a simple, clean design to coordinate with rest of house.

Agree, #6 with plain windows.

Thanks ck and marti - I will pass on the swirly side windows, so pretty guess I just needed to hear what I suspected - not a match for the rest of the house front..

#6 with plain full length side windows it is then.

I really do like the door's tall upper panel, seems consistent with house tall rectangular windows too. Got lot more work to do on the surround but feeling good with this door choice now, thanks again !!

Yeah, that looks good! Hope you will post a finished photo when you are all done.
