About this home
Nestled on approximately 4.5 private acres in desirable Wake Forest, 6801 Blazing Sunset Trail offers a rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, and custom craftsmanship. Built by Murdock & Gannon, this thoughtfully designed home combines functional living spaces, quality upgrades, and exceptional outdoor amenities in a peaceful setting surrounded by natural beauty. Protected watershed land and Wake County Utilities border the right side of the property, enhancing the sense of privacy and limiting nearby development at the time of this writing.
With approximately 3,061 square feet, this custom-built residence features 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms with a layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The inviting front porch welcomes you into an interior filled with custom details and architectural character. Throughout the home, you'll find upgraded finishes, elegant archways, three bay windows that bring in abundant natural light, and a built-in office credenza and bookcase ideal for a home office or flex space.
The spacious floorplan offers comfortable living areas and thoughtful design modifications that maximize functionality. The primary suite was expanded to include an additional hallway and hall closet area, creating enhanced separation and storage. Plush Stainmaster carpeting with upgraded premium padding adds comfort in designated spaces, while the home's overall design reflects attention to detail and pride of ownership throughout.
One of the standout features of the home is the seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. A disappearing in-wall sliding glass door opens directly to the screened porch and covered rear deck, creating an ideal setup for entertaining or relaxing while overlooking the expansive property. The screened porch provides a comfortable retreat for enjoying North Carolina evenings, while the large covered deck offers additional space for gatherings, grilling, or outdoor dining.
The exterior amenities continue to impress. The property includes an above-ground pool with electrical heater measuring approximately 15' x 26' x 52'', perfect for seasonal enjoyment. A newly added firepit and sitting area creates a welcoming outdoor gathering space surrounded by the peaceful natural setting. Additional exterior improvements include an outdoor storage building and a covered equipment shed, providing flexible storage options for tools, lawn equipment, recreational vehicles, or hobbies.
The acreage itself offers versatility and privacy rarely found in this location. The rear watershed area is noted by the seller as suitable for outdoor recreational activities including deer, turkey, and duck hunting. Wide open spaces combined with wooded surroundings create an ideal setting for those seeking room to spread out while still maintaining access to nearby shopping, dining, and commuter routes.
Additional property features include a sealed crawl space, Bermuda sod with irrigation installed by Water Works of Raleigh, and a professionally finished epoxy garage floor completed by TAGG. The oversized 3-car garage includes an extra-long and wide single bay, offering flexibility for larger vehicles, workshop space, or additional storage needs. A large parking pad provides ample parking accommodations for guests or recreational equipment.
Appliances including the refrigerator, washer, and dryer convey with the property, adding convenience for the next owner. From the custom construction details to the thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces, this property presents a unique opportunity to enjoy privacy, acreage, and flexible living in Wake Forest.
