From that garage door to the exterior mosaic to the pink oven to the multicolored built-ins, this 1957 house in Marina del Rey (of all places) might not be the most beautiful Mid-Century Modern ever to cross our paths, but it is for sure the coolest. It practically shakes the Martinis and puts the Sonny Rollins on the hifi itself. Designed by Daisuke Dike Nagano, the house two bedroom/bathroom suites (but that's it), a dining room separated from the living by the "original wood accordion room divider," wood-paneled walls, "extensive dimmable mood lighting and skylights," and so many amazing built-ins, plus a waterfall and pond in the backyard. The listing says it may just be the the "first Modernist home built in the area," and it's asking $1.675 million.
