Pawthorne Mansion

Pawthorne Mansion is the pack's home, located in the Meadowlands district of Zootopia. Originally belonging to the Pawthorne family, it becomes the central domestic setting from Season 4 onward. Luther inherited the property from his family, whose fortune was built on shipping---a legitimate fortune contrasting the Lynxley criminal dynasty. Luther lived alone in the mansion for seven years before Pawbert's release, using only "maybe four rooms."

Exterior

Approach and Entry

The mansion sits at the end of a private drive lined with mature oaks forming a canopy overhead. A wrought iron front gate, keyed to Luther's vehicle, opens onto a circular driveway large enough for multiple vehicles. A dry, non-functional fountain sits at the center of the circular drive. Hedges run the length of the property perimeter, and trees across the street provide external observation points.

Service Access

At the rear of the property, a service entrance provides contractor and delivery access. A narrow, unpaved service road---weeds growing through gravel, low-hanging branches forming a tunnel---connects to a secondary gate with a digital code panel hidden under climbing vines. The service road had not been used in approximately fifteen years before Luther first used it during the media siege.

Outdoor Spaces

A back patio overlooks the grounds, with city noise softened by the Meadowlands' distance from Savanna Central. A garden sits adjacent to the patio, and glass doors connect the living areas to the outdoor space.

Interior

Ground Floor

Foyer --- Four sets of key hooks by the door, engraved with initials (L.P., P.L., N.W., J.H.). A welcome mat and pictures on the walls---both added after the pack moved in---warm what was once a bare entryway. An archway leads to the living room, and stairs rise to the upper floors.

Living Room --- A large space originally meant for entertaining, with tall windows, hardwood floors, and couches arranged for conversation. A fireplace with a mantel displays the heist trophy from the B99 crossover. The coffee table is covered in coasters, remotes, and general detritus. A bar cart sits in the corner. Nick has claimed a particular throw blanket as his own.

Kitchen --- The heart of pack domestic life, anchored by a commercial-grade range and a kitchen island with seating. A large table seats twelve. Copper pots hang from a rack---older than Pawbert---above counter space "enough for a restaurant." Well-stocked pantry, coffee maker, and spices from Kamila's stall in Sahara Square. A framed napkin with Charles's recipe hangs on the wall.

Dining Room --- Formal table for twelve with proper dishes and cloth napkins. Four green Snarlbucks mugs sit in their designated spots---a pack tradition.

Library --- Floor-to-ceiling books with ladders on rails for reaching high shelves. Leather chairs, a desk, a couch, and a grandfather clock in the corner. Pawbert's bookshelf from ITREEA sits alongside Luther's plant on the windowsill. A jade plant occupies the corner of the desk. Tall windows provide natural light.

Other --- A study, sitting room, and hallways connecting the ground floor areas.

Upper Floors

Master Bedroom (Luther and Pawbert) --- Vaulted ceiling overlooking the grounds. Nightstands on each side: Luther's holds a neat stack of intelligence briefings, Pawbert's holds whatever books he is currently reading. An ensuite bathroom connects to the room.

Nick and Judy's Room (East Wing) --- Located in the east wing, with amber curtains Nick bought to replace the originals (which were "aggressively beige"). An ensuite bathroom has a double sink. The east wing shares a ventilation system with the main house, meaning sound carries through the ducts---a recurring source of humor and occasional awkwardness.

Guest Wing --- Three to four guest rooms and four additional bedrooms, mostly unused.

Gym --- Luther's personal gym with weight equipment.

Secure Areas

Gun Room --- Separate from main living areas, accessed by digital keypad (code: 1126, Pawbert's birthday). Luther built the room specifically to comply with Pawbert's PRS terms, which prohibited him from accessing weapons during his supervision period. The code was supposed to change monthly per PRS requirements; Nick kept forgetting new codes, so it stayed the same for over a year. Pawbert gained access after completing PRS.

Room Counts

The mansion contains ten bedrooms total---six in the main house and four in the guest wing---along with eight bathrooms, four of which are described as "functional."

Atmosphere

Before the pack moved in, the mansion was spare and elegant but cold. Rooms echoed, corners felt empty, and the furniture was designed for a family that no longer lived there. Luther had maintained the space but never made it a home.

After the pack's arrival, the mansion transformed. Personal touches appeared throughout: photos on the walls, a welcome mat at the door, engraved key hooks in the foyer, the particular mess of a space that is actually lived in. The Pack Charter was framed and hung in the living room. Noise and laughter filled previously quiet spaces.

History

Season 4

When Pawbert is released from ZCF, Luther brings him to the mansion and reveals his full surname, Pawthorne, for the first time. In "Transfer", Luther presents all four pack members with house keys---"Not a loan. Not a backup. Yours"---and reveals the secure firearms storage room. Murray Burrows approves the residence during a surprise home visit.

In "Liaison", the east wing ventilation system connecting Nick and Judy's room to the main house is discovered---meaning the pack can hear each other through the walls.

In "Front Lawn", reporters besiege the mansion gate. Luther uses the overgrown service entrance for the first time in fifteen years. Afterward, the property is placed in a trust to obscure the address from public registries.

In "Charter", Nick and Judy officially move in permanently. Luther reveals personalized keys engraved with initials (L.P., P.L., N.W., J.H.), replacing the trial keys. The pack shops at ITREEA for furniture, including library bookshelves for Pawbert's study space. The Pack Charter is established, formalizing household rules.

In "Operational Surprise", Luther counter-infiltrates his own surprise birthday party through the service entrance.

Season 5

The mansion serves as both refuge and battleground during the Icener crisis. In "Without Options", Pawbert and Luther arm themselves from the gun room before being captured by Icener's forces. The mansion sustains damage during the crisis and is repaired afterward, with Judy project-managing the restoration.

The pack prepares for the double wedding from the mansion. The series' final scene takes place here---all four pack members asleep together in the living room, the green sweater watching over them.
