First surveyed in 1662, Hollyhurst was originally known as, “More and Case It”.  The root of this tract name is thought to mean “to take root and hold”.  Hollyhurst is oriented on an 8-acre waterfront parcel.  Its presence on the Manokin River demonstrates it has clearly taken root in Somerset County to become one of the most significant waterfront properties on the Eastern Shore.  Located along the banks of the Manokin River, the 1816 home represents the history of Somerset County plantation houses while offering the amenities of a modern home.The Flemish bond brick exterior of the home is highlighted also by the parapet gables on each end of the primary structure.  The architectural details of the exterior complement the fully restored and renovated interior.  Georgian paneling in the formal living room and the dentil molding in the dining room set the tone for this graceful home.  Simple elegance resonates throughout the 4,225 square feet of living space.  On the first floor alone, the home offers six spacious rooms for entertaining and casual weekend living. The second floor of the house is host to three, well-appointed bedrooms, each having ample closet space.  There are also two updated full baths.  Two additional bedrooms and one bath are accessible through a separate staircase in the east addition.  These secluded bedrooms provide the opportunity to house and entertain guests while maintaining the privacy of the primary bedrooms and upstairs living quarters of the main house. The grounds immediately surrounding the house are improved with a pool and small pool house.  The waterfront is largely bulkheaded with a pier and electric boat lift.  Access to the Tangier Sound and Chesapeake Bay is within only a few minutes out the river.
