Two-story Colonial Revival house of stretcher brick-veneer frame construction with an asphalt-shingled hip roof.

Flanking the entry are tall windows in round-arched openings with the same fanfold panels. Other features include an exterior brick chimney, a soldier course at the second-story floor level, a one-story sunroom on the south end with tall windows with round-arched transoms, 6/6 windows with paneled wood shutters on the second story, and a one-story reat frame addition with a screen porch. The front yard has dense plantings off boxwood.
