The entrance, a six-light-over-two-panel door, is obscured by a partially inset porch supported by full-height brick piers with arched spandrels that has been enclosed with screens. There is a projecting gabled bay on the right elevation as well as at the right rear (northwest) of the rear ell. A flat-roofed metal carport on metal poles is connected to the southwest corner of the house and to the garage behind the house.
