Colonial Revival two-story house of stuccoed tile block with an asphalt-shingled gable roof with an eyebrow dormer. The one-story front entry porch has fluted Doric columns and a pediment broken by an arch. Aluminum awnings extend from each side of the porch over brick terraces. The front entry has sidelights and an elliptical fanlight. The 6/1 windows are paired in the second-story front and have window boxes on sawn wood brackets. On the south gable end is a stuccoed chimney with a single sloped shoulder. The two-tier enclosed rear porch is stuccoed on the first tier and has a paneled wood enclosure on the second tier. Other features include a stretcher-bond brick foundation, a lunette in the north gable, quarter-round windows in the south gable, and cornice returns. Two gate brick pillars flank the entry to a driveway to Lindsey Funeral Home on the south side of the lot.
