Looking for examples of 1/4 rounded stoop for L-shaped ranch style home?

Lovely L-shaped ranch at the end of the street needs a new step/porch/stoop (not covered). The house is almost never seen from the front due to a large tree in front yard and the position on street. Walkway approaches from side; door faces street and is not visible to visitor from the path. Front landscaping is bordered in a curved form; I'd like to integrate the new front step by curving it also, to form one continuous line around the L-shaped front. We are excavating to fix the front foundation, so that we will be starting from scratch. Any ideas? Design plans? Do you know a better term I can search by to find images of a 1/4 round front deck? I've been looking by various terms, and have yet to find something done this way... Thank y ou!

1. Sounds similar to a Queen Anne style porch, but not quite, as they have a roof overhead. I would describe it as "wrap-around stair and/or porch". If you need bent trim or moldings, it could be quite expensive. And, the curved treads and risers will be a challenge. It will depend upon how agressive your radius is, and the type of trim. If it is large, you may be able to bend the trim to fit. Or is it made of concrete?
