Jennifer Lawrence played her in the movie “Joy” from 2015, but now is your best chance to live like the real Joy Mangano.
Mangano, the 66-year-old inventor best known as the mastermind behind the self-defeating Miracle Mop – and of course to inspire the film for which Lawrence received an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe win – has noted an approx. 22,000 square feet of Long Island property for $ 20 million, its stockbroking firm told The Post.
The Wall Street Journal broke the news of the listing, which is located in the village of St. James on the Long Islands North Shore – about halfway between New York City and the Hamptons. Should it sell at that price, the estate would set a record in St. Louis. James.
The property, called Swan Manor, has three structures and spreads over more than 9 acres overlooking Long Island Sound. The photos show a stately residence behind gates – with features including a two-storey large room, a two-storey kitchen and an indoor pool – that have visibly been well maintained under Mangano’s ownership.
“Swan Manor is the most recreational area I’ve ever seen on the Gold Coast of Long Island,” Shawn Elliott of Nest Seekers International – who shares the list with his son and business partner, Zach Elliott – told The Post. “The house is perfect for a large family as it has multiple homes on the property. It would also be great as a business resort with its proximity to New York City. The feeling when you enter this house is a feeling of love and joy, without puns, it’s one of a kind. ”
Mangano, who told the Journal that she has sold products worth more than $ 3 billion on television thanks to her star status on QVC and Home Shopping Network, also told the store that she always dreamed of living in a “large mansion” “- and she even used” millions and millions “of bucks by renovating this one, which dates from 1917. She bought it for $ 1.35 million in 2000, or about $ 2.31 million when adjusted for inflation.
“I am a carefully detailed person,” Mangano told the Journal. “Everything has to be perfect around me.”
It shows. The indoor pool pavilion also has a hot tub, a large gym and a sauna. Downstairs, the finished cellar has a wine cellar and a tasting room. The plot also has a guest house with no less than three bedrooms, an additional staff quarters and a garage for four cars. The country also has a tennis court, a pergola deck, imported Italian porcelain terraces and walkways and a waterfall in rock garden, the listing states. Additional photos show a formal dining room with fireplace, vaulted and wood-beamed ceilings and even space for a home office. There are also two sun rooms and a massage room.
Her years of owning the home even benefited Mangano professionally. Its many closets led to repetitions of her Huggable Hangers in velvet, which prevent clothes from falling off, according to the Journal. And the large kitchen inspired a collaboration with chef Todd English on ceramic nonstick cookware.
Listing of the estate comes in an attempt to reduce. Mangano, CEO of the “CleanBoss” product line and an executive producer of “America’s Big Deal” on the USA Network, comes from Long Island – and was able to spend time with his children and grandchildren on the property in the early days of COVID. She’s not sure where she ends up after a sale.
Elliott added that there is an appetite among potential buyers to live on Long Island.
“Prices on Long Island rose last month as both sales and prices have been affected by a continuing shortage of supply amid strong demand,” he told the Post.
