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.
