The Claremont Avenue homeowner called 911 at 10 a.m. to report hearing breaking glass in the laundry room.
"That's when she saw a large buck with antlers," Police Chief Robert Kugler said.
The deer headed upstairs before running back down and out the same window.
"There's a bit of blood on the floor and he knocked some things over but no other major damage," Kugler said.
"The woman was shocked that for his size he was able to get back out."
