After a year of ownership to the month, sports analyst Colin Cowherd has listed his pristine, hyper-engineered traditional-style investment home in Los Angeles with an asking price of $11.5 million.
The 2005-built home is perched on a .27-acre lot in Brentwood Heights. The 6,713 sq. ft. house sports a cohesive exterior design sensibility that suggests East Coast, with a shingled upper in blue, a stone-clad first level, a cupola, and Juliet balconies.
Along with a tall hedge border, the L-shaped architecture provides enough privacy for a backyard with a courtyard-like feel. In fine weather it’s the destination spot, with a pool, a large patio with a firepit, and a groomed carpet of lawn setting the right atmosphere of secluded recreation.
Inside, the five-bed, six-bath house’s personality peaks with the shared space, a meandering series of specialty and catch-all spaces with a tiered floor finished in nicely contrasting plank and parquet hardwood. In the living room, a great-room like feel is accomplished with a fireplace and a cathedral ceiling and exposed beams. The room also features a wet bar, a nifty addition that’s packed away discreetly behind arched cabinet doors when not needed.
Additional amenities in the house include a formal dining room, a parlor with a fireplace and shallow coffered ceiling, a master with a reading nook, an office, a media room, and a kitchen-dayroom-family room with scraped plank that opens to the outdoor living area.
