No. 425 is one of the two "A" houses at the ends of the six-house row of 1892-93, entered through a round-arched doorway with brick voussoirs, brownstone imposts ornamented with circles, and a rock-faced keystone. Its second-story windows carry ornate transom-like panels, the central one pointed and the others round-arched. When the district was designated, it was the only house in the row that still had its original paired wood-and-glass doors, and it also kept its original one-over-one wood window sash.
