Sonja Morgan is giving the New York City real estate market another go.

The Real Housewives of New York City star, 58, has re-listed her five-story Upper East Side townhouse for $8.75 million after attempting to sell the property for nearly a decade. Thomas Wexler of Leslie J. Garfield & Co. holds the current listing.

"What makes Sonja Morgan's townhouse special is that it's an elevatored townhouse in beautiful condition designed with style and grace in a top Upper East Side location in New York City," Wexler tells PEOPLE. "What more could anyone ask for?"

Sonja, who first listed the home for $9.95 million in 2013 amid her divorce with J.P. Morgan heir John Morgan, most recently took it off the market last September, the New York Post reported. She was allowed to keep the townhouse in 2015 after settling a five-year bankruptcy case.

In 2018, the Sonja by Sonja Morgan designer revealed on RHONY that she rented out the property for $32,000 per month, according to Bravo. She's also had costars Tinsley Mortimer and Luann de Lesseps as houseguests.

She previously moved into some new digs on the other side of Central Park, settling into an apartment overlooking Manhattan's Columbus Circle in 2018.

Sonja admitted on season 13 of RHONY that she was forced to give up the apartment and move back into the townhouse at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, as she didn't have a renter anymore. "I am a guest in my own house until this gets rented or sold," she said at the time.

The 4,650-square-foot townhouse boasts four bedrooms, five full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, as well as multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy a rare slice of peace in the bustling city.

The front door opens onto a bright foyer leading into the gallery and living room with some mosaic hardwood floors, all soaked in natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the solarium. A set of French doors leads out to a manicured garden with a fountain and koi pond.

On the second floor is a large dining room with a wood-burning fireplace under a marble mantlepiece, as well as an eat-in kitchen with marble details and state-of-the-art appliances. Another room, which can serve as a bedroom or office, comes with arched windows and Venetian plaster walls.

The third floor features the primary suite, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, a sitting room full of natural light and a bathroom with a large walk-in shower, separate bathtub and mosaic tile floors with a delicate floral design. The suite also opens out onto a balcony, which overlooks the garden below.

Another elegant bedroom sits on the fourth floor with its own fireplace, walk-in closet, half bathroom and a spacious terrace. A separate bathroom features a walk-in shower and bidet.

The top floor comes with two more bedrooms perfect for guests. The rear bedroom features a fireplace with marbled granite and a wet bar. The front bedroom comes with a washer/dryer and a large walk-in closet.

RHONY fans will also recognize the townhouse's secret elevator, which has made some appearances on the show. "Everyone likes to see the elevator," Sonja told Entertainment Tonight during a tour in 2019.
