Calling all Architecture Geeks, Identify This Old House edition

Lately for reasons I won't go in to, I have been watching the real estate market.  I have preferences in architecture and it does NOT elan towards McMansions or generic "modern" housing.

I need some help in identifying the age of a house on the local market.  The year built was not listed and the agent was able to tell me some interesting facts about the house that might give someone who knows more than me about building a clue about the age of the house.

And of course feel free to share your thoughts on your house, you favorite housing styles, remodling old homes etc...

I grew up in a house that was built in the 1700s and added to in the 1800s.  I used to have a strong taste for Victorian homes and have lived in several.  But in the last 25 years I have wanted nothing more than to have a Craftsman of my very own to remodel.  

Here is one I just love:

I found this pic online and since this combines my love of Craftsman Bungalows and misty woodsy places I saved the pic and wonder what is behind that fence.  Is it a garden, a pool or a patio?  The one thing I would do is make most of that front lawn a combination of flower garden and ground cover.

But here is the house I am curious about:

It sits on the edge of my small town which is more and more becoming part small town/part suburb.  
This house is in an older, not very wealthy, but wooded and hilly section on the very edge of town.  It has, according to the real estate agent, a  stone slab for the foundation.  It also has pine floors, but she did not know about the woodwork.

She did tell me, as a selling point,  that the people had done a remodel. That can be good or bad depending on what they did.  It would almost be better if they left the place alone sometimes.  I am remembering a really ugly 1970s remodel my parents did on our 200 year old home....they removed the clawfoot tub, nuff said.

Driving past I did see that there is a deck on the back that you can not see from the picture. The lot is clear except around the edges where there are masses of old trees.  I don't know if they fall in the property line.

There was another house very similar to this one for sale several months ago.  It had five bedrooms rather than three and more architectural detail, with railings in the porch an d decorative windows next to the chimney. Plus the site was more deveolped with a paved driveway rather than dirt (read mud here in Pa).  It looks to me like they were built by the same builder.  That larger house was built in 1925.

So what do you think?  Is anyone familiar with this style? Do you know when builders stopped using stone slabs for the foundation?

They say it is a Cape Cod.  It doesn't look like a cape cod to me.  Am I wrong?
