The transverse forward-placed residential house has a risalite arrangement with chamfered corners and tower-like central section.

Risalite entrance with ashlar step, threshold and newels. On broad ashlar plinth placed granite columns (Ionic) which carry an ashlar lintel on which the rounded arch rests. The walls are provided with glazed tiles above an ashlar plinth; double panel door with decorative grilles for measuring glass windows, carved alternating weathering and a rounded arch fanlight; ceiling with stucco work. Above the entrance a wooden balcony on heavy consoles; ironwork with balusters; loggia comparable to portal; opening balcony doors with above them a carved alternating weathering and a rounded arch fanlight. At the top of the central section a broad roof moulding with garlands between the worked corbels; at the front a pediment; flattened tower cap with on one (originally three) side a zinc roof dormer. On either side of the entrance a rectangular window with ashlar weathering and granite lekdorpels, ashlar surround, casements and lintel. Above the lintel a granite lintel with round iron medallions and above this a zinc segmental arch. The chamfered and slightly projecting corners have similar windows. West facade with projecting facade plane containing a segmentally arched cellar window as well as a window as in front facade.

Intact residential house.
