The John and Alice Coltrane Home is more than a house. It is a living testament to the enduring power of music, history, and creativity.
Tucked away in the residential neighborhood of Dix Hills, NY, this two-story, brick and wood frame home was where John and Alice Coltrane chose to put down roots and raise their family from 1964 to 1973. The Coltrane’s wrote and recorded some of their most enduring works in this peaceful suburban setting.
As of late 2026, The Home’s exterior is nearly completely restored, and efforts have now moved towards preparing the interior space for visitors. We anticipate having The Home open to the public in 2027.
Step Inside The Home that Changed Jazz Music History
Soon visitors will have the opportunity to explore the house where the Coltrane’s created music and raised their family. Music will permeate the newly restored Home as guests move through the rooms, each of which has its own history. The spaces within The Home will provide opportunities for contemplation, listening and learning. In the future, the exterior property will feature a meditation garden with winding paths and a space for outdoor classes.
The transformative impact of John and Alice Coltrane is one to be celebrated
John and Alice thrived off of each others creative energy which allowed them to share their talents with the world. Their legacy is a testament to strength in artistry, dedication to craft, and spiritualism unmatched by almost any in history. The Home serves as the very place that nurtured the Coltrane legacy.
