Pair of high-end S.F. condos

Unique outdoor spaces in Mission District homes

Cynthia Traina’s Victorian home doesn’t capture natural light exceptionally well, and a small courtyard provides a lone outdoor space.

So when Traina set out to redevelop a home in San Francisco’s Mission District, the president of a public relations firm bearing her name wanted to create something that didn’t repeat the shortcomings of her personal residence.

“This has everything I don’t,” Traina said of 1108 and 1110 York St., a pair of newly renovated twostory condos teeming with highend finishes. “The outdoor spaces are extensions of the living space, and their orientation gets light throughout the day.”

Traina turned the former singlefamily trilevel into a pair of luxury residences with the help of designer Beth Daecher and architect William Pashelinsky. They added a fourth level and dug a little bit into the lot to expand the size.

“We wanted to maximize every square-inch of space,” Traina said. “There’s so many areas for gathering and entertaining.”

Traina invests in her developments like she’s going to live in them herself. She wants whoever moves in to enjoy a worry-free lifestyle amid the highest comforts.

“We put a lot of thought into finishes and how rooms would be lived in,” she said.

Swedish-engineered hardwood flooring and open floor plans grace both residences. 1110 York St. features a 16-foot sliding glass pocket door leading to a landscaped garden with a tile deck, a Japanese maple and a lemon tree. Electrical wiring and gas lines establish the backyard as an entertainment hub awaiting customization.

A roof deck with panoramic views of the city and landmarks sits atop 1108 York St. A Rollamatic retractable skylight above the staircase opens to this serene outdoor space. The upper unit also includes a front terrace off the great room overlooking York Street.

Each listing has a gourmet kitchen equipped with high-end appliances. Russound speakers are also found throughout both residences.
