Why this home stands out
What sets 371 Knells Ridge Drive apart is the combination of generous square footage — nearly 2,500 square feet — and an almost unbeatable proximity to the USCG Finance Center Chesapeake. Four true bedrooms give households room to spread out, and the half-bath on the main level keeps daily routines from turning into a traffic jam. For a 1989 build, the footprint is substantial, offering space that many newer, smaller homes simply can't match.
