In the heart of Manhattan's bustling streets, Yue-Sai Kan's townhouse stands as a beacon of elegance and refinement. Known as the "Oprah of China," Kan has listed her stunning New York residence for $24.99 million, offering prospective buyers a glimpse into the lap of luxury.

Representing the property, Sonia Bendt of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New York Properties, describes the home’s open vistas of the East River and bridge as nothing short of magical. Located among the exclusive enclave of Sutton Place and Sutton Square between East 57th and 58th streets, the townhouse boasts a prime location with access to a lush, 12,000-square-foot private garden—a rare amenity in the heart of the city. 

Originally purchased for $4.5 million in 1989, Kan's meticulously renovated residence spans 8,500 square feet across six stories. Among the home's most notable features are its expansive windows, which flood the interiors with natural light and offer captivating views of the surrounding cityscape. Kan herself attributes much of the home's appeal to its address at 6 Sutton Square, a number steeped in symbolism and tradition. In Chinese culture, the number 6 is considered incredibly auspicious, symbolizing luck and abundance—qualities that have undoubtedly contributed to Kan's thriving career and business endeavors.

But it's not just luck that sets this townhouse apart. Perhaps the most spectacular feature of this residence is its private large garden park, shared exclusively among the 14 townhouses at Sutton Square. Imagine stepping into your own lush oasis, where verdant foliage and blooming flowers envelop you in a cocoon of natural beauty. Perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or even hosting a fairytale wedding, this private garden park is a sanctuary like no other. The home also features an outdoor kitchen-equipped rooftop terrace, a dining room fireplace, and various entertainment spaces, including a large back terrace on the garden level. Each detail, meticulously curated over Kan's three decades of ownership, reflects a commitment to luxury living and sophistication.

Elevating its distinction, the residence is renowned for its prestigious location and esteemed neighbors. Surrounded by luminaries such as acclaimed designer Thom Browne, Metropolitan Museum curator Andrew Bolton, and even the United Nations Secretary General, residents of Sutton Square are immersed in an elite community of influencers and tastemakers.

As prospective buyers consider the possibilities of owning this prestigious property, they're not just investing in a home—they're investing in a piece of New York City history, a symbol of success, prosperity, and unparalleled luxury. And with its prime location, exclusive amenities, and storied past, Kan's townhouse at 6 Sutton Square is poised to enchant and inspire for generations to come.
