8555 Walnut Dr (West Hollywood, CA) House

Meticulously remodeled Laurel Canyon retreat featuring a true detached home office, secure gated 2-car parking with EV charging, and a private botanical sanctuary. Located in the coveted Wonderland School District, just minutes from the Sunset Strip... and Studio City.

Perched on a quiet street in historic Laurel Canyon, this exceptional Hollywood Hills retreat feels like a private garden sanctuary yet sits just minutes from the energy of Los Angeles. Wake to eastern views of the Griffith Observatory and San Gabriel Mountains, spend afternoons in the sun-filled gardens, and let the fragrance of blooming jasmine, gardenia and rosemary drift through the property. Hummingbirds abound, adding to the feeling that you've escaped into your own private oasis.

Previously owner-occupied and meticulously remodeled, this beautifully designed single-family home blends elevated finishes with the relaxed indoor-outdoor living that makes Laurel Canyon so special. Soaring ceilings and dramatic exposed beams define the main living, dining, and kitchen spaces, while warm natural oak floors run throughout the home.

At the heart of the house is a sophisticated cook's kitchen outfitted with a Thermador oven and range, Zephyr hood, dedicated Perlick wine refrigerator, natural brass California Faucets, and a striking Heather Levine light fixture. The result is a kitchen that feels equally suited to a quiet morning or an evening entertaining friends.

The home offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a bonus room, and a separate freestanding home office, with multiple private patios and terraces creating an abundance of outdoor living space. Gather with friends on the expansive brick entertaining patio, retreat to the private back terrace with a book and a cup of tea, or step onto the office deck for a work-from-home call surrounded by greenery. The property is fully enclosed with an automatic gate and parking for two cars in the driveway, with a 220V EV charger already installed.

The mature foliage is a true highlight. A groomed vegetable garden area with its own sprinklers awaits a green thumb, while mature fruit trees throughout the property offer pomegranates, lemons, limes, Paige mandarins, apples, and plums. Landscaping is maintained by a gardener included in the rent, allowing you to simply enjoy the beauty of the grounds.

Located in the Wonderland Avenue Elementary School district, this peaceful retreat is approximately 1.5 miles from the Sunset Strip and just 12 minutes from the heart of Studio City. The historic Canyon Country Store and acclaimed Pace restaurant are minutes away, making it easy to enjoy the best of Laurel Canyon while remaining close to both the city and the Valley.

This is a home designed for a certain kind of Los Angeles living: quiet mornings, garden-scented evenings, dinner outside, fruit picked from the trees, and the feeling of being tucked away in nature without giving up the city.
