Awaba is of roughcast rendered brickwork with brick quoins, roughcast and timbered gables, Marseilles pattern roof tiles and prominent coupled chimney shafts, some of which are set diagonally to the base in the Elizabethan manner. A splayed stair leads to the verandah which has turned timber posts on a red brick plinth. The segment arched verandah frieze consists of pierced foliations. The entrance door is panelled, with segment arched main and side lights of coloured glass and tall highlight panels. The major gabled bay has a deeply bracketed window hood which divides upper and lower lights; the lower having been reglazed but the upper retaining intricate panels of coloured glass in the Jacobean manner.

Awaba House - Historical Australian Themes
Relatively few substantial brick villas were constructed in the Banyule area in the late 19th century, the 1880s land boom having little effect on the settlement pattern of the district.
