This one-story, side-gabled bungalow is three bays wide and triple-pile with a shed-roofed rear ell on the southwest corner of the house. It has a brick foundation, vinyl siding, and an interior brick chimney. The house retains six-over-one, double-hung wood sash windows and jalousie windows in the rear ell. The front door is a modern replacement and is flanked by door-sized, single-light windows that extend to the porch floor. Soffits, eaves, and braces are covered with vinyl. The shed-roofed front porch is supported by tapered wood posts on brick piers and has aluminum awnings on all three sides. A modern deck extends the porch and wraps around the west side of the house.

The earliest known occupants are John and Janie Cousins in 1945.
