The approved occupancy lists R-3 household living with one accessory interior parking space (garage). Floor areas are recorded as 1,350 square feet on the first floor, 1,350 square feet on the second floor, and 950 square feet at the cellar, for a total construction area of 3,650 square feet.
The site is zoned RSA-2; the associated zoning permit caps building height at not to exceed 38 feet. Elevation drawings label a roof peak of roughly 33 feet, within the stated limit. The zoning set also shows that the parent parcel was subdivided into two lots for two new single-family homes; the present building permit covers one of those homes at 488 Byberry Road.
The front elevation presents a street-facing garage and covered entry, a brick base at the ground level, and horizontal siding above. The second floor features paired windows and an arched accent window beneath a gable roof with shingles. Side elevations depict a long, two-level volume stepping back to a smaller rear mass.
