The Sargent house consists of a -story main block, three bays wide, with a long ell. The main block is oriented to the southwest, with its centered entry framed by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by a simple entablature. The flanking windows are replacement sash windows, as are those on the other elevations. The house is finished in clapboards, completely obscuring the log structure. The logs are roughly hewn, with limestone mortar filling the gaps. In places where the log beams are too short, two logs were simply butted together. The corners are formed by the use of square corner notches. The logs show evidence of having been covered in sheathing from an early period.
