Back when Shelley and Shawn Wilfong had only themselves to take care of, they plunked down a deposit on an uptown Charlotte condo and waited.
While workers built their condo, time renovated their lives. They got married. A year later, their son Carter was born. And then the condo was ready.
So the Wilfongs did what few with young kids would dare: They moved out of their house in the Elizabeth neighborhood and up to the 26th floor of TradeMark. They discovered that skyline views offer a breathtaking backdrop for a crib and toy trains. And when you're 1 1/2 years old, an elevator offers a sweet ride home.
