ue Sai Kan, the Emmy‑winning host dubbed the “Oprah of China” and cosmetics mogul, has just relisted her Manhattan townhouse at a reduced price, though it remains a hefty $19.99 million. The 8,500‑square‑foot property, situated on East 58th Street in the historic Sutton Square district, offers more than just luxury interiors—it grants access to the coveted Sutton Square Garden, a private lawn overlooking the East River.

    Sutton Square, built in 1920, is a cluster of 18 townhomes that have long served as discreet retreats for New York’s elite, from Aristotle Onassis to Anne Vanderbilt. Only a handful of these homes, including Kan’s, enjoy a slice of the 12,000‑square‑foot garden perched above East River Drive. The manicured grounds feature cherry blossoms, a towering tree with rustic rope swings, and sweeping views of the Queensboro Bridge and the river itself. “I don’t need to drive three hours to the Hamptons,” Kan told The Post. “I have trees, flowers, and a lawn right in my backyard—truly a luxury.”

    The townhouse first entered the market in 2020 with a $28 million asking price. After several price reductions, delistings, and a change of brokerage, it is now listed by Serhant’s Lauren Mitinas‑Kelly and Nicole Kelly. The red‑brick Neo‑Georgian façade has been updated with a gold‑dragon motif ceiling, a formal dining room, a richly paneled sitting area, and a spacious bedroom. The modern kitchen and a 1,600‑square‑foot rooftop terrace—complete with an outdoor kitchen—provide ample space for entertaining.

    Kan purchased the home with her former husband for $4.5 million in 1989 and has overseen multiple renovations since. The 33‑foot‑wide residence boasts seven bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms, and its layout is praised for its “very good feng shui,” according to the host. The combination of historic charm, contemporary upgrades, and exclusive garden access makes this Sutton Place townhouse a standout in Manhattan’s luxury market.
