51-24 39th Avenue turns a three-bay side wall with a chimney toward 52nd Street
As the end house of its Harrison Place row, 51-24 39th Avenue has a side facade of three bays facing 52nd Street, described in the 2007 landmarks report. One-over-one windows had replaced the original six-over-six sash in the outer bays and the smaller four-over-four sash in the middle. A brick chimney climbs from where the hipped roof dips lowest, set between the side wall's first two bays, and a chain-link fence surrounds the small grassy side yard.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2007 survey listed 51-24 39th Avenue, lot 39 on block 128, as a Type G' house and recorded that a two-story brick addition, not part of the original design, had taken the place of its open brick porch at the back. The rear yard had been paved in concrete and a through-wall air conditioner projected from the second floor. In front, the hood over the door had a blue-painted roof, and new and enlarged basement windows sat in concrete light wells.
