Tall countryside cottage in the heart of East Arlington. The yard is a dream - south and sunset facing, filled with mature plantings, fruit trees, and farm vegetables. The afternoon sun filters through the apple trees and lights up the plum tree. This custom pre-war era house has been occupied by only two families - the original builder lived here for over half a century. The kitchen and family room face the sun and open nicely to the rear deck and yard. Formal dining and living rooms anchor the remainder of the first floor. A handsome foyer leads upstairs to three bedrooms and one modern bath. Each bedroom has two windows and faces green tree canopies. Basement has long been used as a 2nd family room, library and large workshop. This charming wood-shingled house sits high over Marrigan Street, a quiet village lane with long-time residents. 20 min walk to Davis Square Red Line station or Arlington Center. This is a special home. Offers reviewed Monday 5pm.
