Price Reduced ListingWelcome to 515 N. Hennepin Avenue, a distinctive early-20th-century home overlooking one of Dixon's most beautiful park settings. Rich in architectural character and filled with natural light, this spacious residence offers a rare opportunity for homeowners, large families, and investors alike. From the moment you arrive, the home's timeless curb appeal, expansive window lines, and Craftsman-inspired architecture make a lasting impression. Inside, you'll find generously sized living spaces, original hardwood floors, beautiful woodwork, and classic architectural details that showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, modern cabinetry, and a center island, while renovated bathrooms blend modern convenience with historic charm.

Situated on a generous lot directly across from one of Dixon's most cherished parks, you'll enjoy mature trees, scenic views, and easy access to downtown dining, shopping, schools, and community events. Whether you're searching for a character-filled primary residence, a multi-generational home, or an investment opportunity with future upside, 515 N. Hennepin Avenue delivers the space, flexibility, and location you've been looking for.
