The asymmetrically arranged villa further contains predominantly T- and H-windows with three-pane glazing in the fanlights above which coloured segmental arches. The recessed entrance with hard stone step and overhanging half-hipped roof, supported by a baluster-form column, is located on the north side, east of the tower-like executed central risalit, to which on the other side a short transverse wing under a hipped roof adjoins with semicircular window with ornamental railing and on the first storey a straight-ended window arrangement with lambrequins. The central risalit contains on the piano nobile coupled semicircular windows with ornamental railings and profile mouldings, on the first storey coupled windows with carved floral arch fillings of hard stone in the semicircular recesses and in the projecting roof storey straight-ended windows between fluted pilasters; the carved woodwork provided top gable was originally covered by a half-hipped roof; in the risalit between the semicircular windows a foundation stone with the name of the villa and the building year.

The three-sided bay sections on the south and west sides originally contain similar roof storey, whereby the southern bay on the first storey has a balcony with wooden balustrade. The west facade is further at the extension of 1899 provided with a short transverse wing under a half-hipped roof, whereby on the first storey a balcony has been installed with mortared balustrade and a narrower chimney in English manner.
