About this home
Welcome to 26 Reed Street, a single-family home fully renovated and expanded in 2026, with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and about 3,318 square feet. Out every rear window is Whipple Hill conservation land, and in every season that view sits in the frames like a picture you do not have to hang. The everyday pleasures are just as close. McClennan Park is right across the street for a morning or evening walk. Pick your own raspberries at Wright-Locke Farm or go just over the hill to the beach and park at the Arlington Reservoir. Walk in and look up. The first floor has high ceilings, and daylight runs the length of the house, from the fireplace seating through an elegant dining room to a modern kitchen with an island, stone counters, and stainless appliances. A bedroom and a full bath are on this floor too, so guests can live on one level. Upstairs, the primary suite has a freestanding tub looking out on the conservation land, a glass door shower, a double vanity, and a walk-in closet. Two more bedrooms and another full bath complete the second floor. On the third floor are a half bath, a generous-sized room, and a quiet office. Step down to the finished basement and get ready for the game show and drink. Outside, a wide deck overlooks a fenced yard and the conservation woods, an easy place to host a barbecue. The attached one-car garage is EV-charger ready, and the driveway holds two cars side by side. Ample storage is built throughout the house. Come stand at the back windows. The photos get close. The ceiling height and that view are why you should see it in person.
Arlington Heights, located between Arlington Center and Lexington Center, is a residential and walkable Arlington neighborhood with a hilltop commercial district and leafy side streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Massachusetts Avenue at Park Avenue, where independent cafés, bakeries, and small storefronts line the sidewalks under steady foot traffic. Community pillars include Capitol Theatre, Menotomy Grill & Tavern, and Kickstand Cafe. Early-20th-century Colonials and classic New England multifamilies shape the streetscape, with pocket gardens and stone walls adding texture. Robbins Farm Park frames the edge with open lawns and skyline views, while the Minuteman Bikeway links daily errands to longer rides. A calm, lived-in pace carries from the avenue into the quieter blocks.

Still owned by the original family. What a spot - buyers and builders take note!! . Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to add your own updates to this 3 bedroom Ranch in a simply wonderful Arlington Heights location where neighbors host backyard bbqs together and you can explore so many amenities right within walking distance. Skateboard across the street to McClennan Park, hike the Whipple Hill conservation area, pick your own raspberries at Wright-Locke farm, or enjoy the Arlington Reservoir beach and park just over the hill. Nice sunroom has sliders to wonderful rear deck overlooking very private fenced yard and Lexington conservation area. Finished room in heated basement offers that elusive bonus space, and has a second fireplace (not used for many years). With a little love, this diamond in the rough may be just the one you’ve been waiting for! See disclosure regarding basement flooding and municipal storm drain easement.
