The residence is basically built with brick and timber and decorated with Chaoshan wood carvings, stone carvings, plaster sculptures, porcelain and glass.

　　被誉为“岭南第一侨宅”，广东省省级文物重点保护单位。位于澄海区隆都镇前美村，由著名旅外侨胞陈黉利家族兴建而成。始建于1910年，1939年完工，历时近30年。占地面积2.54万平方米，共有厅房506间，以传统潮汕民居“驷马拖车”糅合西式洋楼，形成中西合璧建筑风格。整个院落由 “郎中第”、“寿康里”、“善居室”和“三庐”书斋4座宅院构成，宅院之间点缀亭台楼阁，通廊天桥，萦回曲折，连成一个庞大的院落。故居建筑为砖木结构，建筑装饰既有潮汕传统木雕、石雕、灰塑工艺又有现代瓷砖、玻璃等，显得古朴典雅。故居辟有木偶馆、戏曲馆、民俗馆、工艺馆等展馆，还有带浓郁潮汕民俗气息的双咬鹅广场舞表演和工夫茶道表演。是潮汕华侨文化的一个缩影。
