What's Happening?
The iconic Jacobean Tudor Revival mansion, known as Wayne Manor from the original 'Batman' TV series, is on the market for $32 million in Pasadena. Built in 1928 by the architectural firm Morgan, Walls
& Clements, the seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom estate spans five acres of gated land. The home, located at 380 S. San Rafael Avenue, was used for external shots in the 'Batman' series aired from 1966 to 1968. The property, which features a mahogany staircase and a butler's pantry, was last sold for $20.5 million less than a year ago. If sold at the asking price, it would set a new residential sale record in Pasadena.
