Oh it's a tudor even though it doesn't have stucco?
Sure. One really wants to first look at the overall building form; roofline, massing, symmetry and then work your way to fenestration shapes, secondary architectural forms such as chimneys and porchesand then to cladding and trim detailing. With Tudor’s you are looking for steep rooflines, minimal overhangs, prominent front facing gable and chimney, then masonry cladding; stone, brick or stucco- though only about a third of Tudor Revivals have the stucco with false timbering that most of us expect of that style, most are varying patterns of brick and stone and some just stucco. The tabbed entry surrounds and the narrow arch topped windows and entry door also place it firmly it that style.

Ouch. It looks ordinary to me (not great or bad). Overall I think of this as a gorgeous home that needs work. It's for sale. The inside basically needs to be gutted. The outside has some great features but could use some upgrades. The vinyl siding on the dormer and garage door aren't great and I definitely don't like grass growing through driveways.

Yes. I've seen entire neighborhoods of Tudor-style homes made of brick. Some developer decided that was the way to go. You could call it: Neo-Tudor.
