Architectural historians have identified the property as a Greek Revival-style residence, and historic records indicate it stands on land that was part of Chapel Hill's original town lots established in 1793.

The home offers multiple spacious bedrooms, updated bathrooms, generous common spaces, pantry storage, and flexible-use rooms suitable for a variety of residential and investment uses.
