There is no doubt that this home needs some serious Love and TLC, but for the person who loves restoring old things back to or beyond their original glory, this is one that could be worth it. All of the other homes on the street are immaculately kept which makes this one to consider. Improving this home would be a gift to Anamosa’s downtown area. The setting of this home reminds me of a classic communty with a beautiful church up the street, at the end of the other block there is the downtown main street with a new ice cream parlor and kids and family’s laughing and playing all around. For the owner-occupant, this would be a little slice of heaven from the good old fashion sense of community values in an ever-emerging fast-paced technologic era that doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere. This home may be able to be converted to a duplex, but the renovator would need to get that cleared by the county to be certain.
