| 247 Candlewood Path | Dix Hills, NY 11746 | | ||
About: Located roughly 30 miles from Manhattan, on Long Island, in the Town of Huntington, the Dix Hills community was considered “out in the country” in 1964.
Sitting on 3.4 wooded acres in this community is a once beautiful brick and wood frame “Farm Ranch” home. American jazz musician John Coltrane lived here on this quiet residential street during the last years of his life. In his home he composed his greatest work, “A Love Supreme,” as well as all of his last works, considered by many to be his greatest. The house includes four bedrooms, an expansive living room, a studio in the basement and a practice room above the garage.
In 2006, the house was purchased by the Town of Huntington and given to the “Friends of the Coltrane Home,” a non-profit organization founded specifically to support the home. After being restoration, the house will be opened as a museum featuring artifacts from Coltrane's life and work.
