I would remove that single light over the door, and opt for one or two on the side of the door. You could also add columns of some sort coming from the porch to the roof on either side.
Have you thought about narrow trellis on the side of the door with a plant growing up it? Plants would soften the look my making it more natural.
If you redo the stairs, I would elongate the tread length, so a person would feel they have more real-estate when standing on them. You may also get appliqué embellishments for the risers of the stairs (something filigree) to add a touch of artfulness. Depending on your budget I would have your steps taper out at the bottom (wider at the bottom than the top). It would give the illusion that it is longer leading up to your house, and help break up the ‘boxy’ look.
You also may consider getting a rounded wood plaque with your house number above your door. It would help add something in that empty space that softens the starkness.
