Deerpond As early as 1760, the surrounding area was known as Tobacco Stick; among its first colonial inhabitants were Roger Woolford, William Jones and John Harrington.

The waterside of the manor house has a raised, multilevel, wrap-around deck system that begins at the master bedroom exit door and passes across the entire waterfront facing side of the manor house before joining up with an 18 ft. wide hexagonal, screened gazebo porch off the kitchen. The deck then leaves the porch with cupola style roof and passes the kitchen window before joining up with a covered breezeway. The porch and kitchen overlook extensive plantings that surround a 15000 gallon, kidney shaped, in-ground heated pool & Jacuzzi with Fishing Creek in the background. The angled and covered breezeway that overlooks the pebble stone textured & red brick pool area, leads to the entry door of a matching, but separate, carriage house. The carriage house, with a large 10’h x 28’w x 22’d, 2 bay ground level garage facing the driveway and two independent work shop areas in the back, separated by an exit door to the English garden and dock walk, offers a different view of the water, as well as, access to the English garden and 400 ft. long elevated dock walk. Accessed by a private entrance and interior wide oak staircase just off the breezeway, the upper level of the carriage house boasts a delightfully, charming, very private, 750 sq. ft. guest quarters that includes: (a) full kitchen, (b) laundry, (c) full bath, (d) sleeping area, (e) dining area with entry to outside deck, (f) reading area with gas fireplace, and (g) media area with flat screen TV; all these areas under a 10 ft. cathedral type ceiling. This living quarters was finished to include the same fine interior features of the manor house, including custom milled moldings and ¾ in. wide plank oak floors throughout. The spectacular sunrise waterfront view, including flagpole area, pool area, ¼ mile across Fishing Creek, tidal pond, extensive elevated dock walkways out and over 160 ft. of water, (2) boat lifts (3’ mlw x 7000 Lbs.& 5.5’mlw x 10,000 lbs.) two deep water boat slips (4.5’ and 5.5’ mlw), all from the Carriage House upper deck is almost as spectacular as the view from the 3rd level widow’s walk that extends out from the waterfront side of the manor house. In the early maritime tradition, full accessible widows walk was built to reflect the colonial history of being first settled by a sea captain over 200 years ago. Deerpond is a private nature preserve in itself with deer, rabbits and squirrels scurrying about year round. In addition, there are numerous bird types, too many to mention, and waterfowl of all types coming and going during the year. Hope you enjoyed this description.
