The locals called it Keister's Folly. In the mid-1940s, Dr. Keister built a barn on Kent Island overlooking Cox Creek, hoping to raise Black Angus cattle on 25 acres. The acreage was too small for the endeavor — but the barn he built was extraordinary. In the early 1960s, the developer of the Harbor View community converted it into a residence. The current owners' family purchased it in 1965 and has invested over $400,000 in improvements across sixty years of devoted stewardship. This property has never been publicly offered for sale — until now.Situated on 1.65 acres with 205 feet of protected waterfront on Cox Creek, this is one of the largest privately held waterfront parcels remaining in Harbor View. The 75-foot private pier extends into navigable tidal water with approximately 3.5 feet at mean low tide and two boat slips. Shoreline reinforced with professional rip-rap. Maps show Flood Zone X — outside 100-year and 500-year floodplains - buyer and agent should verify.The home offers 3,456 sq ft of living space across two levels including 700+ sq ft of unfinished second and third-level expansion space. Five bedrooms, two full baths. The upper-level primary suite features hardwood floors, panoramic water views, attached full bath, walk-in closet, private coffee bar with refrigerator, and a deck overlooking the creek. Updated kitchen with granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry, and high-end appliances, improvements throughout honor the building's barn heritage. Solid block construction. 200-amp electrical.
