Resort-Caliber Saltwater Pool on Private Half-Acre Cul-de-Sac
Step through mahogany double doors onto a flagstone porch and you immediately sense this is no ordinary Wake Forest residence. Designed as a Parade home and sited on a lush half-acre at the end of a quiet, wooded cul-de-sac, 3901 Sanford Creek Ave combines architectural presence with thoughtful day-to-day livability. Ten-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, plantation shutters and generous 8' interior doors create an elevated backdrop for everyday life.
The kitchen is a showpiece for entertaining: a mahogany-topped island with hammered copper farmhouse sink, second island with prep sink, five-burner gas cooktop, built-in ovens, glass-front cabinets with pullout shelving, granite counters and stone backsplash. Light from the dining banquette opens toward the family room where custom cabinetry frames a grand stone hearth—perfect for winter evenings or casual gatherings.
Three main-floor bedrooms make single-level living effortless. The primary suite offers a private spa bath with granite-topped vanities, a large walk-in shower with dual heads and a soaking tub. The adjoining dressing room/walk-in closet is appointed with custom built-ins, a center island and a Liberty Centurion safe. Upstairs finds a roomy fourth bedroom with ensuite bath, plus a bonus room wrapped in wainscoting for media use or a home studio.
Where this house truly sets itself apart is the backyard composition: sliding French doors open to a covered 31' porch, pergola-shaded patio, multiple water features and a sparkling saltwater pool with tanning ledge. An outdoor fireplace, professionally landscaped perennial beds, evergreen screening and drip irrigation deliver privacy and low-maintenance grounds. Practical upgrades include a 600' walk-in attic with TechShield radiant barrier roofing, a three-car garage with custom cabinets and workbench, and an extended driveway with room for six cars.
Beyond the property lines, the neighborhood offers membership access to golf, swim, tennis and fitness programs and a short two-minute walk to miles of wooded greenway trails. Downtown Wake Forest, schools, shopping and gyms are all close by—giving you a rare blend of retreat-like privacy and everyday convenience.

This property is competitively positioned at the Redfin-derived midpoint estimate of $899,900 (price per sq. ft. approximately $256), exactly matching the broker list price. The valuation confidence is moderate (0.65), indicating the home’s bespoke features—former Parade status, half-acre cul-de-sac lot, saltwater pool and three-car garage—carry meaningful premium value relative to standard comparables. For buyers, that means you’re looking at a home that typically holds attention in Wake Forest’s upper-moderate market segment. For sellers, pricing at the midpoint signals responsiveness to current demand while leaving limited room for negotiation on highly desirable attributes.
While this dataset doesn’t include neighborhood inventory counts or days-on-market, the combination of Heritage schools, walkable greenway access and membership-based amenities generally creates recurring buyer interest. Expect stronger competition for turn-key homes with premier outdoor amenities and main-floor bedroom plans.
