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.
