End of Week Pick Up Sticks: Carson Daly

According to the property gossip gals at Newsday, radio personality and Emmy-winning television host Carson Daly—he currently hosts the American Idol usurping televised singing contest The Voice—is fixing to acquire a stately, red brick center hall Colonial estate about 20 miles from Midtown Manhattan in the affluent Flower Hill area of Manhasset on Long Island.

The six bedroom residence, last listed for $6.499 million, was built in 2005 on 1.3 acres with five full and four half bathrooms. There's an in-ground pool out back along with a pool house and plenty of bluestone patio.

On the west coast, as per our quick and dirty research on the internets, since 2006 Mister Daly has owned a bluff top residence (with a recently installed swimming pool that overlooks the Pacific Ocean) above the mouth of the traditionally boho but now excessively pricey Santa Monica Canyon between Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades.
