At almost the exact same time he recently closed on the $6.9 million sale of a six-bedroom Craftsman-meets-Cape-Cod-style home in the affluent ocean-side community of Manhattan Beach, Calif., tax records show sports media personality Colin Cowherd, host of the popular Fox Sports radio program “The Herd with Colin Cowherd,” sealed the deal on the $6.9 million purchase of a five-bedroom Nantucket-y traditional along a serene and leafy street amid even more substantial estates in a plum pocket of the well-to-do Brentwood area of Los Angeles.
White picket fencing runs along the front of the slightly more than quarter-acre property, and a flag stone path bisects a swath of evenly mown and generously irrigated lawn as it makes its way to the front door of the just over 6,700-square-foot home that’s handsomely clad in grey shingles and topped by a weather vane mounted to a tiny cupola. Painted wooden gates hung between lantern-accente stone pillars swing open to the driveway and front-facing two-car garage.
Inside, the five-bedroom and 5.5-bath home is refined and unquestionably high-end yet relaxed, evoking what marketing materials describe as the “sensibility of a vacation home” on Martha’s Vineyard and combining the laid-back comforts of quintessential indoor/outdoor California living with all the modern-day accouterments required (and rightfully expected) in a home of this size, caliber and cost.
