It does not get any better than this. This duplex on Elysian Park Avenue between Sunset Boulevard and Stadium Way (it's the street that leads into the main gate of Dodger Stadium) received a top notch preservation that retained and restored the original doors and windows and finished it off with an appealing paint scheme and great landscaping. The great work here stands in contrast to the duplex right next door that was covered with stucco and stripped of its wood windows and other original features. If only these restoration wizards could work their magic on the property next door. This would be a great looking block.
