Roof style opions please.

[McQueen3D]

Either of those two: overbuild a roof or use a pergola.

But a simple 4:12 or similar hip roof over the porch area would probably look OK if there were appropriate beams and columns under it. A porch of half the pitch of the main roof and using a similar gable pattern (or lack thereof) was fairly common in ranch houses and farm houses years ago.
