Two distinct sections at front: original hip-roofed cottage at left (south), and addition at right (2010), also with a hipped roof. Original cottage has a full-width front porch, with chamfered posts, large square balusters, square spindlework frieze, and pediment over central entrance; screened in. Porch shelters single door, at center, one-over-one window at either side. Oriel window and casement window, at left side, both with diamond muntin pattern. Exposed rafters continuous at roofline. Addition at right, flush with front of original cottage, is an enclosed porch with solid sided rail and banks of one-over-one double-hung vinyl windows at front and side. One-story west addition built in 1987, minimally visible from the front.
