One-and-a-half-story Cape Cod form, wood-shingled frame single-family dwelling. Features include a single-leaf paneled wood and glass door, double-hung vinyl sash, paneled shutters, a gable roof with asphalt shingles, and an exterior end brick chimney. Two gabled dormers occupy the front roof plane, while a large shed dormer extends across the rear elevation. The house also has a one-story gabled front porch with square wood posts. One of several similarly styled, modestly scaled houses built in the "Rose Cliff" Addition before 1948 (occupies lots 3 and 4).
