Jay Manuel Lists Bauhaus-Inspired Connecticut Home for $5 Million

Jay Manuel, a renowned makeup artist and the former creative director of America’s Next Top Model, has put his home in Wilton, Connecticut, on the market for $5 million. Acquired in 2011 as an unfinished Bauhaus-style property, Manuel has since crafted it into a uniquely styled space that showcases his artistic vision. Spanning 2.75 acres, the estate boasts five bedrooms, a Poliform kitchen equipped with Miele appliances, and a striking Keith Haring-inspired mural in the foyer. Additional features include a professional salon, a game room with an orange billiards table, a spa, a glass-mosaic wine cellar, and a fitness center adorned with motivational affirmations. Outside, a massive Jeff Koons balloon dog sculpture welcomes guests (not for sale), alongside a heated saltwater pool, spa, cascading water feature, summer kitchen, and fire pit. The property is listed by Laura Ancona at William Pitt | Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty.
