It sits on about 4 acres (1.6 ha) of land, which slope steeply away from the road to the southeast, providing views of Mount Monadnock and the hills of Peterborough.

It is a 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure built in a U shape with gabled roofs and shingled exterior.

A rubblestone terrace wall provides a level grassy area behind the house.

Its windows are six-over-six sash throughout, and there are gabled dormers piercing the roof of the central section.
