When Wendy Morris was looking for a new home in 2005, she knew what she wanted.
"I was looking for an easy lifestyle and the space really worked for me," she said. "I wanted a doorman building too."
A one-bedroom unit in Independence Place was the perfect spot. In addition to a doorman, the building features parking as well as proximity to lots of local amenities.
"The gym is literally behind my building," Morris said.
After moving in, Morris began her upgrades.
"I've completely remodeled," she said.
By the time she finished, she had a new kitchen, new bathrooms and new flooring.
The kitchen renovation included custom 42-inch cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. There was also new tiling.
"I love my kitchen, especially the Italian glass tile backsplash," Morris said. "I fell in love with it."
Her master bathroom now features an oversized shower, which she also counts among her favorite features. The master bedroom includes a walk-in closet and neighborhood views.
The formal dining room features built-in cabinetry and is adjacent to the living room with its floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors that lead to a private balcony.
Morris said her work means new owners can take it easy.
"There is nothing left to do," she said. "They just need to move in and unpack."
While Morris said she has enjoyed her time on Washington Square, her reasons for listing the 1,200-square-foot-home are happy ones.
"I'm getting married and moving in with my fiancée," she said.
The home is currently listed by Pam Butera for $495,000.
