This one-story, side-gabled house is three bays wide and triple-pile with a small gabled projection on the east elevation. It has a gabled rear ell at the northwest corner and a shed-roofed block east of the ell. The house has a painted brick pier-and-curtain-wall foundation, plain wood weatherboards, and a painted brick chimney on the façade. It retains three-over-one, double-hung Craftsman-style wood sash windows throughout with three-light windows in the two small, gabled dormers on the façade. A large, projecting front-gabled porch on the left end of the façade is supported by tapered wood posts on stone piers and has stucco with faux-timbering in the gable. The porch gable and the gabled dormers both have purlins. A low stone retaining wall supports the driveway to the east of the house. County tax records date the property to 1932; the earliest known occupant is Ezra L. Wilson in 1935.
