This lovingly maintained Craftsman was originally built as a triplex and still has that flexible living setup—perfect for a multigenerational family or friends who want to share a property. The main house connects to two upstairs units (each with vintage appliances that add serious character), and there's a brand-new 669-square-foot ADU that's modern and stylish while matching the historic charm. The upstairs units have both interior access from the main house and separate outdoor entrances, so everyone can have privacy when they want it. Located in picturesque West Central Pasadena with good transit access and very bikeable streets, you're positioned well for both neighborhood exploring and LA adventures. The solar panels are a nice bonus for keeping utility costs reasonable across multiple units.
