A combination gambrel roof covers the clapboard structure, and the front gable end is clad in fish-scale shingles and holds two six-over-six windows. A horseshoe-shaped arch and king post decorate the peak of the pediment. A three-sided bay with a window on each face sits beside an inset porch with simple rounded columns and a single front door with a transom. An exterior stone chimney completes the design. The house is valued for its unusual style, which is more elaborate and imaginative than most nearby, particularly among homes built late in the neighborhood's development.
