The entrepreneur behind the Miracle Mop has listed her home in Nissequogue.
Joy Mangano’s estate is on the market for $14 million, confirmed listing agent Kyle Roskot of The Agency. The property, called Swan Manor, consists of 9 acres and three structures: The main house, a guest house and a three-car detached garage with an additional living area. Property taxes are $89,960.
In total, there are 14 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms on site. The main house stands at 17,000 square feet, and all three structures combined total 22,000 square feet, Roskot said.
“It’s resort-style living at the finest,” the agent said. There is no shortage of amenities, he added: The property boasts an indoor pool, gym, massage room, sauna and tennis court.
“It’s such an indoor-outdoor oasis,” he added.
The house first hit the market on March 14, Roskot said. Mangano purchased it in 2000, property records show, and “it was a fraction of the size it is now,” Roskot said.
Mangano’s sense of style can be seen throughout the main house. “She did such an amazing job designing it, from the finishes to all the little details,” Roskot said. As for potential buyers, “the level of interest is quite high,” he added.
More standout features include a wine cellar and tasting room inside, and a stone waterfall surrounded by manicured landscaping around back.
The home was Mangano’s full-time residence for 25 years, Roskot said. He had no comment on where she might be headed following the sale of her estate.
Mangano shot to fame from the success of her inventions, from the self-wringing Miracle Mop to a velvet, non-slip clothing hanger. Her autobiography was published in 2017, and Jennifer Lawrence portrayed Mangano in the film “Joy” two years earlier, earning the actress an Academy Award.
A musical based on Mangano’s life, titled “JOY: A New True Musical,” will begin performances off-Broadway in Manhattan in June.
“It’s one of a kind,” Roskot said of the property. “There’s really nothing like it.”
