3 Breakwater Road is a substantially intact double fronted red brick residence retaining many notable Bungalow details. The facade is asymmetrical with a prominent gable at the front of the house and a central entrance beneath the verandah. The entrance has a wire door, and leadlight to the highlight and sidelight. The large gable roof is clad in terracotta tiles with terracotta finials at the ends of the gables. The gable infill panels feature a half timbered effect, wide barge boards, boxed eaves, decorative vents, and small timber brackets. The openings in the front facade are double hung sash tripartite windows with lead light glazing and corbelled brick sills. The side openings are also double hung sash windows. The verandah extends across the prominent gable at the front of the house to forma window hood. The verandah features short timber columns on brick and render piers, and a rendered balustrade. The chimneys are brick with terracotta pots. At the side of the house is a cream brick garage and at the font of the site a fence of similar brick with dark brown brick band. The fence is not appropriate to the style of the residence.
