www.dixonkirbyhomes.com - About Dixon/Kirby & Company, Inc.:
- For
twenty-two years, Dixon/Kirby & Co. has been building beautifully
constructed and immediately identifiable homes in neighborhoods throughout
the Triangle. In recent years, both Better Homes and Gardens and Southern Living
magazines have tapped Dixon/Kirby & Co. to construct their showcase homes.
The Dixon/Kirby home is warm and sure, inviting and comfortable, timeless and
singular. Wherever it stands, it is often envied, regularly admired, always
welcome. Dixon/Kirby’s mission is to design the perfect home to fit their clients
rather than using a one size fits all approach.
Best of all, Dixon/Kirby homes are as livable as they are lovely. The plan
is thoughtful and fits how you live, the spaces are suitable, the views are
expansive and the feel is restful. A home tailor made for your life and memories.
The welcome home.
