🌱 $7M Mansion On Housing Market + New SAFE Boat For Lake Norman

Hey, Mooresville. I'm here in your inbox today to get you up to speed on everything you need to know about what's going on in town. Without further ado.

First, today's weather:

Rain and a thunderstorm. High: 76 Low: 61.

Here are the top three stories today in Mooresville:

1. With summer almost here the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office’s new SAFE boat will help with water rescues on Lake Norman. The boat, which took about a year to custom build, is specially equipped with specialized sonar, heat-detecting systems and enough horsepower to cross from one side of the lake to the other in just minutes. This is a great addition to water safety on the lake. (WSOC Charlotte)
2. A waterfront, Lake Norman mansion in Mooresville has gone on the market for nearly $7 million. Stephen and Susan Kromer are selling their 6.5-acre estate complete with five bedrooms, six full baths, three half-baths, an infinity-edge saltwater pool with a spa, lap lane and a nearby fire pit with built-in seating, a covered dock with boat slip and lifts, and a 620 concrete block sea wall, because they are reportedly building a slightly smaller home somewhere else on the lake. The sale of their home at nearly $7 million would represent the second-highest home purchase in Iredell County. The top-sold home on record is just two doors down from the Kromers — the $7.5 million Grand Lac Chateau. (Charlotte Observer)
3. Want to add a shaggy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family? Look no further than these Mooresville animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many pets are still looking for their forever home and facilities are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets with families. (Mooresville Patch)
