The façade is symmetrically balanced with a center entryway flanked by recently added bay windows on either side and two gabled roof dormers on the upper story. There is a screened-in porch on the south elevation of the house with a brick chimney extending through the roofline of this porch. A two-car garage on the north side was added in 1959. The garage is attached to the house by an enclosed breezeway.
