Reverie Cove is the last property on the east side of Harbor Lane before the road turns to the west. The driveway runs along the southern boundary (which is marked by a stone wall), before circling back on itself in front of the main house. The length of the house is oriented to follow the northwest to southeast running shoreline. At the northwest corner of the property, adjacent to the road, is the former stable, now a garage. The entire property measures 1.37 acres, and the easternmost edge of the property is defined by Eddie Brook, which empties into Frenchman's Bay. The 1947 fire consumed the cottage immediately to the south of Reverie Cove, but did not burn this property.

The house, of frame construction, contains 2-1/2 stories (3-1/2 facing the water) with three internal brick chimneys, hipped roof, bracketed cornice, shingle siding, and dressed granite foundation.
