It is of no surprise that the island city of Alameda, just across the bay from the Californian city of San Francisco, is well known for having a large number of gorgeous Victorian-style houses, though there are also plenty of picturesque properties in other period styles in this East Bay community as well. 

‍

A collection of cozy Storybook cottages are nestled in a vintage bungalow court in Stonehenge Village, and are one of the most charming aspects of the property. The village includes a number of charming cottages that are reminiscent of picturesque English villages of the past.

‍

In 1928, Stonehenge was built by architect Walter W. Dixon in Central Alameda, just a few blocks south of the marina, based on inspiration from a map of the continent on which it was built.

‍

 A native of San Francisco, Dixon apprenticed with the prestigious Bliss & Saville firm, which designed the swank St. Francis Hotel, before moving to Oakland and establishing his own architectural firm there. In Oakland as well as the surrounding areas, he is regarded as one of the most reputable architects. 

‍

A partnership between Dixon and the builder R.C. Hillen and a team of other developers, it is important to point out that Dixon designed a number of courtyard complexes in the East Bay area that were accessible to middle- and working-class people - homes within reach for middle- and working-class people - he designed lavish estates as well as modest mansions - homes accessible to the middle- and working-class.

Stonehenge's attractive stone-built mansion is currently on the market for $962,00, according to Rich Report. Located within walking distance of Stonehenge, this modest house is ideal for exploring the historic site. 

‍

There are two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, a formal dining room, an updated kitchen, a storage area, and an attached garage in this 1305 square foot house. As well as the two bedrooms and one bathroom that are already present in the house, the house has another two bedrooms and one bathroom. 

‍

There are a number of features that make the home appealing to prospective buyers, including barrel ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, original light fixtures, hardwood floors, and large picture windows with intricate leaded glass detailing along with barrel ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace.

‍

Moreover, it is important to note that Stonehenge residents not only have access to a small amount of private outdoor space, but also to an expansive courtyard as well as lush gardens that include a waterfall, pond, bridge, and a large garden fountain carved out of stone as well as a large garden fountain made of owning a piece of Stonehenge property.
