Welcome to a truly special piece of Knotts Island. 2.26 acres. Sound frontage. Historic charm. No HOA. Built in 1900 and thoughtfully updated over the years, this distinctive home blends the character and craftsmanship of an earlier era with improvements designed to complement its historic charm. Set along the sound with beautiful water views and plenty of room to spread out, 172 Lands End Road offers a rare combination of history, waterfront, acreage and privacy. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 1,752 square feet with warm wood flooring, an updated kitchen with modern appliances, generous cabinetry and sleek countertops, and comfortable living spaces that retain the home's inviting character. Outside is where this property truly sets itself apart. More than two acres provide room to garden, entertain, create outdoor gathering spaces or simply enjoy the privacy and peaceful surroundings. Relax on the covered porch and take in the sound views while attached and detached garage spaces provide additional flexibility for vehicles, storage and hobbies. The detached barn conveys as-is and offers additional space and possibilities. With direct sound frontage and no HOA, this isn't your typical waterfront property; it's an opportunity to own a home with more than a century of history while enjoying the space, privacy and natural beauty of Knotts Island. Historic character, thoughtful updates and waterfront acreage, all in one remarkable property.
