Regarding the garage option: You are right. Too much is paved, but realistically this side, especially the northeast corner, is hardly used. It probably only grows moss anyway. The garage would be well placed there, but here I have two things that puzzle me: the width of the driveway and how wide it has to be in front of the garage. How to figure that out... we'll see. Ideally, you can drive in forward and when driving out turn, maneuver and drive out forward again. I don’t know if a width of 6 m is enough for that. Who tells you something like that? In a pinch, you can also reverse out, but in the long run... well... somehow not so great.
Among other things, it is precisely because of those two puzzles that the garage idea is really not so great. You can forget about turning and maneuvering, that will not work. If you don’t believe me, find a large parking lot and recreate the situation with beer cans as boundaries... of course it’s a shame about the nice beer that won’t survive your maneuvering attempts. But even worse, I find puzzles three and four: on the one hand the protruding northeast corner of the house and the resulting drop edge to the garage driveway – that will be expensive and ugly. On the other hand, the completely useless sacrificed area in the east – especially since you need storage space, it is not sensible to sacrifice 50 sqm exclusively for the access road and another 40 sqm for the garage.
After you described the situation on site a bit more precisely, I would try to move the carport/parking space to the southeast corner of the property. Directly by the street. Specifically: move the house 2-2.5 m north and pave the entire area up to about the ridge line at as uniform a height as possible. What you then cover (carport, possibly continuing into a covered entrance area) and what you leave open (parking space) you have to decide based on the on-site situation. Same goes for the question of possibly planting areas or a “house tree” :) The goal should be to reach the front door on as uniform a height level as possible (although a few percent slope lengthwise/crosswise really is not a big deal). On the east side of the house, I would then plan a storage area completely separated from this situation (garden shed or similar). This can also be split into two sheds, one near the front door, another further northeast. If the level is lower there, a small ramp or similar must be provided toward the front door for bikes etc. Possibly you can also still adjust the house height if it is moved.
OK neighboring terrain at the front door height is indicated in the side view as 204.435. That should work well with 1 m retaining walls on the east boundary, and you would have the entire southeast corner at roughly one height.
Two more questions: is your planned floor structure really 38 cm? And do you have a front view of the house side facing the street?
