Sierra Bonita may be the house that finally turns you into a morning hiker. Runyon Canyon is practically part of the neighborhood, which means one of LA's most famous trails can become less of an excursion and more of a routine: shoes on, out the door, climb until the city opens beneath you, then come home and jump in the pool. The house itself blends mid-century and contemporary design without feeling precious about either, with five bedrooms in the main residence and a detached guest house that gives somebody else their own little world. We especially like that combination for a month-long stay. Sierra Bonita gives you the Hollywood Hills fantasy, but the best part may be what happens before breakfast.
