The building stands three storeys tall, has a basement, and includes a dormered mansard. It is three windows wide, with the entrance located to the right. This entrance has a recessed panelled door and a fanlight set within a semicircular arched opening.

There are painted stone plat bands on the first and second floors, and the building is capped with a parapet that has coping. The property is also adorned with cast iron railings featuring urn finials. Inside, the house retains a fine original staircase that has a narrow open well, cut strings, turned balusters, and a ramped handrail.
