Fantastic opportunity to own a structure with significant history in the town of Dixon. Situated next to the Metier Studio Gallery and St. Anthony's Church, the main middle section of this home was built in 1638 and of adobe bricks. At this time this area was known as Embudo. On Oct. 12, 1931, President Herbert Hoover issued patents to the owners. It is estimated the studio and cellar were added on to the home in the early 1900's and used as the post office. The Dixon post office opened at this location in 1902. Later in the 1950's, the east bathroom was added on. The entire home was renovated in 2005. The windows are custom made Marvin windows in the living room and bedroom. The ceramic tile is Italian. The home is heated with radiant floor heat and hotwater baseboard heat. The studio has beautiful hard wood floors and utilizes a wall heater for heat. The cellar is the perfect place to store your belongings, canned goods, etc. Dixon is known for its vistas of funnel shaped mountains, historical churches of St. Anthony's Church and Embudo Presbyterian Church, multiple arts studios, the wineries of La Chiripada Winery and the Vivc Winery, and as an agricultural community with co-op market. If you are an artist, this is an ideal location for a gallery and live-work arrangement.
