Luxurious Custom Home on a Creekside Setting

1715 Bay Laurel Drive

Menlo Park

Offered at $7,950,000

Timeless design, a wonderful floorplan, and a premier central Menlo Park address define this custom home built in 2007 on more than one-quarter acre. Located on the creek side of one of the neighborhood’s most sought-after streets, the 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home begins with a welcoming two-story foyer, hardwood floors that extend throughout the home, stunning light fixtures, luxurious primary bath and a reimagined kitchen with designer style.

Formal living and dining rooms await entertaining, while a private office with built-ins offers a quiet place to work from home with garden views. The expansive remodeled kitchen stands out with marble-style quartz countertops, chevron-patterned backsplashes, custom-hued cabinetry, and top-tier appliances. The open family room features a gas-log fireplace, built-in banquette seating, and French doors to the impressive rear grounds bordering the creek.

Upstairs, the primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with its own sitting room or office, private balcony, customized walk-in closet, and newly remodeled spa-like bath with free standing tub, stunning shower and Toto washlet toilet. Two additional upstairs bedroom suites each feature their own bath with tub and overhead shower and possibility of 4th bedroom upstairs. On the lower level, a media/recreation room, fitness studio, bath, and two additional bedrooms – including one with Murphy bed, built-in cabinetry, and rear yard access – offer abundant flexibility for guests, hobbies, or extended family.

The private grounds are equally captivating, framed by San Francisquito Creek and lush, mature foliage. A Connecticut bluestone patio anchors the outdoor living space, complete with a barbecue center, oversized spa, and raised vegetable beds – perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the tranquil creekside setting. Excellent Menlo Park schools and a central location close to downtown and Stanford Shopping Center add the finishing touch.
