Try a colorful awning over the big windows
Unless you want to do major construction on the roof line, I would do things to camouflage it and take your eye away from the roof line. Try some trees in your front yard.

Your home is beautiful. You could build a pergola or a portico on the front, you could extend your porch clear across to the garage or just plant an upright or a dwarf tree to the right of your triple window.
tear out the front wall, center door with 2 side lites and a large triangle window above it.
To update the outside appearance of the home would would be major construction, easily into the tens of thousands. How much do you want to spend on the project?
Do you mean instead what can you do to add some curb appeal?
