A frame structure built upon a foundation of stone, it was one of the most well-preserved Stick-Eastlake houses in Greenville and the surrounding area, with a porch that has been described as "outstanding" and a gable that is ornamented by specifically Stick elements.

[2] Unfortunately, as of May 2021, the house has fallen into disrepair, with shutters hanging askew or missing, the exposed wood is noticeably rotting and exterior paint peeling and bubbled all over.

An Eastlake porch shelters the rear door that opens onto the protruding kitchen, and various eaves elsewhere on the exterior form separate cornices, each of which is composed of brackets and a frieze.

[3] In 1975, the Leftwich House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its excellent architecture.

[1] Although the house's history included no distinctive events or residents, its architecture was rare enough to qualify it for listing.
