Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so behold your beautiful surroundings and enjoy your home. Fashion is fickle and what is considered "ugly" now might have been the latest and greatest when it was built. Enjoy your home and don't feel that you have to justify owning an "ugly house". If you don't spend time in the front, fix it up a little and focus your energies and monies where you spend the time. If I had a great lake location, I would only spend big money on renovations that enhance the feeling of outdoor living, such as adding windows to take advantage of a great view, or landscaping around spaces I really intended to spend time in. I would do something about replacing the porch supports with something more tailored. I like doing things in steps (since I'm not a designer who can figure out what it will look like in the end) and I would start working on the door and see where that leads. I would get rid of the shutters on either side of the front door (at least that is what I think I'm seeing in the pictures). If the storm door is in good shape and you use it, I would keep it since it is a full-view door.
