Zone 7a, north-facing so the front point gets sun in the summer but there's lots of shade from the house. There are some hyacinths along the sidewalk each spring but they just die back so soon. I like the peony bush (leaves starting to yellow) but it's in a weird place. I'm not even opposed to getting rid of the shrubs.

I would get rid of the evergreens. Personally I dont like plants up against the house due to moisture and bugs. Rose bush that could be tamed to go in front of window for security as long as the basement window can still have an emergency exit.
Good idea getting rid of shrubs since they kind of overwhelm the space. Below window is an emergency escape route from basement? I’d try to hide tis with something in front. Something with color and year round greenery. Rose of Sharon is nice. Two bushes close to door don’t compliment one another. Ornamental grass in between window and garage sound be nice especially one that droops in a foundation shape.
I would move the evergreens if I could.
I’d put in hydrangeas easy to care for or something like azalea to add color.
