The Jacobs House is located in a residential area southwest of downtown Madison, on the east side of Toepfer Avenue between Birch and Euclid Avenues.
 It is a modest single-story structure, its exterior finished in a combination of brick, horizontal boarding, and glass doors, the latter opening from the rear of the house.
 It is covered by a flat roof and rests on a concrete pad foundation.
 Its interior space is 1,500 square feet (140 m²), and has two bedrooms.
 The house's original heating system consisted of steam heating pipes laid in the sand base that underlies the main concrete pad.
 The furnace that provided the steam heat was located in a small basement space under the kitchen.
