The house at 724 Doncaster Road is a weatherboard, double-fronted, hip-roofed, timber Edwardian house. The roof is clad in corrugated galvanised iron. The left-hand bay projects as a gable with roughcast at its peak, which jetties out. The gable also has a rectangular skillion roofed bay window. The upper gable and dado have bands of decoratively scalloped weatherboards.
The verandah wraps around the angle, under the main roof, with timber fretwork brackets and straight and curved valance rail on the facade (but is missing on the side). The bargeboard capping is also missing on the left side of the projecting gable. The house is externally quite intact, and is in fair condition.
