This two-story house is two bays wide and double-pile, with a hipped roof, small hipped dormer on the front facade, and a large two-story rear wing. The two-story front porch is full width of the first floor and then steps in on the second floor, with replacement posts and balusters. The front facade shows a replacement front door beside an original sidelight and a pair of two-over-two wood sash windows. The second floor has a 15-light french door and a pair of nine-over-nine wood windows. Other fenestration on the sides include some replacement units and some original. This house may have been built as a one-story structure about 1917, and a second story added in the 1930s, given the shift in window style and the two front doors visible before its recent renovation. It does appear to be a duplex.

It appears that the house has bee heavily updated, including new siding, rebuilt brick porch piers and square columns, and a concrete foundation.
