Restaurateur Michael Chow, the man behind the swanky Mr. Chow chain of Chinese eateries, has just put his Brooklyn penthouse on the market. Asking $6.49 million, the duplex was scooped up by Chow, and now ex-wife Eva Chun, for $5.8 million in November of 2016. Considering the sleekly simple design of his restaurants, it makes sense that his soon-to-be former digs are just as stylish.Though the penthouse has a lot to offer— a private courtyard and private terrace, a 2,600 square foot floorplan—its position in Brooklyn Bridge Park elevates its most coveted feature. A 750-square-foot private roof deck atop the waterfront property offers uninhibited views of the Manhattan Bridge, East River, and the lower Manhattan skyline beyond. Soaring ceilings and oversized windows inside also maximize these views.Occupying the 11th and 12th floors of a building with only four residences to its name, the Dumbo condo comes complete with three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, all found on the lower level. The master suite sits on the south corner and is outfitted with a walk-in closet and a bathroom with hand chipped stone mosaic floors. Upstairs lies the kitchen, a simple affair with an enormous stone island and rough-sawn oak Italian cabinetry.For more information on Chow’s charming condo, Eric Sidman of Compass has the listing.
