The 1938 1.5-story wood frame with brick veneer and weatherboard Tudor Revival multi-family rental unit sits on a concrete block foundation under a side-gabled roof clad with asphalt shingles. The building has 2,226 square feet, which is consistent with scale and massing within the neighborhood. The façade has a four-bay arrangement with a central front-facing gable that has weatherboard accents and a six-over-six, double-hung, wood-sash window in the half-story, an off-center to the east front door that is recessed in a one-story, one-bay front-gabled accented with stone porch. There are two dormers in the half-story that have four-over-four, double-hung, wood-sash windows. The first-floor windows on the east are six-over-six, double-hung, wood-sash. The west window has a one-over-one, double-hung, wood-sash center panel and is flanked by two one-over-one, fixed, wood-sash windows. There is an enclosed side porch on the west elevation. There is a central interior brick chimney. There is an unpainted wood fence that defines the east property line. There are foundation plantings and shrubbery dots the yard. There are no outbuildings associated with this primary resource. The house style and materials choice are representative of the neighborhood, and the house follows setback from the street typical of the neighborhood.
