Built in 1883, the Keets house was designed in the Victorian Italianate style. The house is sited in the center of the block and is surrounded by hedges separating the property from adjacent structures and the street. The site is covered with lawn and some deciduous trees.
The house is a one-and-one-half story T-shaped-plan building. The wood frame house has clapboard walls and sits on a stone foundation that has cement pargeting. An asphalt tile pyramidal hip roof covers the structure's front porch and bay windows. There is a newer dormer on the front. There are two central brick chimneys. A porch runs across the front of the structure, with a turned ballustrade railing, Italianate columns and brackets, There are Italianate bay windows on the east and west sides of the structure. The windows are 1/1 wood double-hung with small panel wood storms. There is a wood paneled door with arched lights on the main entrance. The rear section is a newer structure with casement windows, but compatible materials. There is a covered porch on the northwest corner, with a concrete floor and ramp to the ground.
