About This Home

Spacious and historic 7-bedroom New England home set on approximately 2 acres in the heart of Fryeburg Village, just moments from the historic Five Forks area. Offering nearly 4,700 square feet of living space, this beautifully preserved 1865 property combines classic architectural character with flexible living space rarely found in village homes. The residence features 7 bedrooms, each with its own private bath, along with welcoming gathering rooms, dining spaces, and a charming library.

Originally built as a private residence and later home to Arctic explorer Admiral Robert E. Peary, the property carries a unique piece of local history while offering exceptional potential as a spacious private home or multi-generational residence. The location offers the best of Western Maine living with easy access to the Saco River, hiking trails, skiing, and year-round recreation in the White Mountains.
