The best analogy I can make regarding 1072 West Edgeware Road & 1466 Wallace Avenue, is that it’s kind of like having your cake and eating it too–only to realize–there is another, completely different cake right next to it. Calories be damned — here are two, thoroughly unique dwellings, being sold together.

At just shy of $1.4 million, this Angeleno Heights property boasts two large, well-maintained Craftsman and Victorian homes. West Edgeware Road is a 5 bedroom, 3 bath home, completely with a separate lower level guest suite, while the Wallace Avenue home sits at a very comfortable 4 bedroom, 3 baths.

While both homes have been upgraded to bring them into the 21st century, you’ll find more period details including built-ins, fir flooring and a gorgeous winding staircase at Edgeware Road.

The kitchen and baths have been updated, but the butcher block countertops and copious amounts of white cabinetry, help maintain their old-school charm — simplicity is timeless.

The bedrooms are all comfortably sized, from the master, to the kid’s room.

With five bedrooms, you have a lot of options. The basement has a finished studio space, bedroom and bath that would be great for any long-term guests, while still allowing for a separate office/den space.

How you decide to rent/own is entirely up to you, but currently Wallace Ave rents for $3,600 a month. This is not your typical tiny back house. Separated by a small fence, Wallace stands well enough on its own.

While special in their own way, they still share similar aesthetics — an open living room/dining area, hardwood floors, and period touches. Some new appliances would do wonders for the kitchen, just keep the green floors.

As with Edgeware, the bedrooms are no slouches either — all of them being large and livable.

With a large outdoor terraced deck and an abundance of fruit trees (on both properties), there is a lot of entertaining to be done when the weather is right.
