Where its neighbors at 2030 and 2034 now have brick and cast-stone stoops, 2032 keeps a bluestone stoop, now painted grey with modern metal railings. The five-bay buff brick front has carved limestone lintels, a bracketed stone door hood over paired wood-grained doors, and a light gray swagged cornice. Its basement cellar entry keeps a historic railing; the facade has been cleaned and repointed and given aluminum windows.
