Since it is a simple rectangle with plenty of room around it, why not just do a more modern modified-split where the front 'face' of the house is at ground level. Maybe build a living room with foyer off the front and have a perpendicular vaulted roof line. The ceiling would be 1 1/2 stories.
Along the same lines, you could extend the 'face' of the house out, say, 15 feet and give it a 1 1/2 story colonial facia. The 15 ft could be a 'great room' with open ceiling and maybe even a large fireplace at one end. The entire roof would probably have to be redone to maintain proper pitch.
I would go with option one. You could make the front of the home look very nice and give it more interest.
