The moderately pitched gable roof has boxed, returned eaves and is covered in asphalt shingles. The closed gable is clad in wood shingles and contains paired, one-over-one, double-hung replacement windows with a cornice lintel. A shallow hip-roof overhang shelters a partially enclosed porch spanning the west-facing main elevation. A single-story, shed-roof wing is attached on the north elevation; its eaves extend to cover a handicap ramp leading to a secondary entrance on the addition’s west elevation. The south elevation features a bay window. Window openings contain vinyl, one-over-one, double-hung replacement sash and have non-functional shutters. A small central chimney pierces the ridgeline of the roof. A c.1925 detached hip-roof garage is located at the rear of the property. Replacement windows on second story, replacement shingles in front gable, rake and cornice covered in vinyl, brackets in gable removed.
