I am not a RE professional but think I can get help from you
I find a home with interesting architecture, but just wonder what is the name of the style, could you help to identify it?

I would say it is influenced by French Country architecture.

In my MLS the categories are pretty limited and anything that is evokes an earlier style but ihas been built fairly recently is just called "traditional" for the sake of fairness. The exterior materials of stone and brick would be noted in my MLS too, but the way they are used is not really somethinng you can "code" for.

The way the bricks are raised in "quoins" is popular on many hoes that have been recently built, though it was used at least as far back as Revolutionary times ...

You really won't find homes like the picture with the symmetrical roof lines and relatively shallow pitch in a more stereotypical "French Country" style...

French country has symmetry to the gables when they are included. It just has a mansard or hip style roof which this house doesn't have.

If I was going to write an MLS description I'd call it a traditional home influenced by French Country. Most traditional homes have some architectural influence even though they are true architectural representations.

In our MLS, I would call it a "Transitional," which is the catchall Style description.

Our MLS doesn't have a category like that. It shouldn't. Aren't there quite a few that are just plain houses without an architectural style?

It looks like a bad modern interpretation of several styles.

This. It's generic post-modern.
