This one-story, side-gabled, brick building is five bays wide and double-pile with three low gabled dormers on the façade. The building has eight-over-eight wood-sash windows with six-light windows in the dormers and vinyl siding in the gables, dormers, and on the rear (west) elevation. The paneled door and sidelights have a classical surround with fluted pilasters and modillions on the entablature. It is accessed by an uncovered brick stoop with metal railing. There is a deep, gabled wing at the right rear (northwest) that has both six-over-six and eight-over-eight windows and two additional entrances on the left (south) elevation, one of which is accessed by a wood ramp. In its form the building is typical of 1950s and 1960s Ranch houses.
