This one-story, front-gabled bungalow is three-bays wide and triple pile with a shed-roofed addition across the rear. The full-width, engaged front porch is supported by tapered wood posts on painted brick piers with a replacement lattice railing. The house features molded wood weatherboards on the façade and plain weatherboards on the side elevations. The front gable features knee braces and a replacement gable vent. Windows are four-over-one windows on the façade and one-over-one replacement windows on the side elevations. The house is identical in form to the J. Leonard Hackney House at 819 Exum. Its earliest known resident is Sidney A. Bobbitt (carpenter) and his wife Elzettie in 1930.
