470 Berkeley Avenue is a 2 1/2 story, 5 bay, rectangular plan, brick, Neoclassical-influenced, residential building.

Constructed c. 1920, the slate-clad, side gambrel roofed house is articulated by a colossal order, fluted Ionic column-supported full front porch with mutule-supported entablature and balustrade above. Three round-arched, pilastered dormers with lancet upper sashes ornament the slate roofline. The fenestration on the facade consists of 9/1 windows with brick lintels featuring stone keystones and sills. The projecting enclosed portico features a segmentally arched brick surround, with a leaded fanlight and matching sidelights. Above the portico entablature is a wrought iron balcony. At one side of the house is a one story, set back sun porch, and at the back of the house, is a cross gambrel wing.

This Neoclassical house is located at the corner of Montrose and Berkeley Avenues, in an estate setting.
