Your house needs landscaping. Choose MCM-style landscaping elements such as square planting beds, grasses, and wooden half walls. I searched in Houzz for MCM lanscaping and found a few examples. See what appeals to you. Also, paint can make your house more MCM and less bland.

What is a hip roof? I just want it to look more modern and inviting in general. My dream exterior is the photo attached, but I realize that's probably unrealistic.. :/

Fun house! I like the break in the roof. I think paint and landscaping will do the trick. Without knowing where you are located for plantings I'd say to keep the xeriscape going, but add some interest with plants and something fun like circular stepping stones. Your paint color options are really endless and based on your preference, but I attached two examples for you to get an idea. The top one has some fun house numbers and a different more mcm light.
