I'm sorry for the naive question but I am new at this and would like to research this home a bit more. Does anyone know what style this house would be considered? It was built in 1915. A big thank you in advance!!
why are people obsessed with this question. who cares?

well, i can tell you this. the crown molding is too small, and the ratio between the wainscot and ceiling height is not the golden section. the backsplash tile in the kitchen is not accurate to the period and should be updated to reflect the correct style. the only good choice in the flip (if this was a flip) was to keep the pink sink.
good hunting non sequitur.

Leanings toward Garrison Colonial but without the jetting out of the 2nd floor over the 1st it would be safer to refer to it as simply Colonial Revival Style, albeit an imperfect example.

It's Colonialish. The interior updates are inappropriate, both eras (the 1960s sinks and the 2010s tile), as is the front porch. But the scale is very nice and it has hardwood floors. Is it in a nice neighborhood? Do you like it? That's ultimately more important. Style is a realtor catchphrase, it really doesn't matter.
Then you might have something to describe it. Imperfect examples are best described under basic procedures and methods used in National Register Historic Structure Survey reports and Nomination documents.
Some buildings have hybrid styles and that can reflect remodels even 10-20 years apart from when the building is built. If there is historic buildings inventory survey done in the area in the past, it would provide some possible good information. They aren't perfect and if you have a question, hire a competent historic preservation consultant who knows the architectural styles and doing proper research on the history of the buildings.

Well, the house was built in 1915 and looks to have been well cared for and updated. The clunky front porch needs some attention and some good landscaping and fencing would help immensely. The side porch does give it some period character. Only listed for $124,000. that wouldn't buy a doghouse in some (insane) real-estate markets.
