This one-story, hip-roofed bungalow is three bays wide and triple-pile with an engaged front porch and a gabled front dormer. The house has a painted brick pier-and-curtain-wall foundation, vinyl siding, and one-over-one replacement windows throughout. The gabled front dormer retains exposed rafter tails and a pair of four-light, Craftsman-style casement windows. The engaged front porch is supported by tapered wood posts on painted brick piers and has a replacement wood railing and a terra cotta-tiled floor. The site slopes to the rear to reveal an exposed basement with windows and doors on the south elevation. The earliest known occupant is Rebecca Geer in 1930.
