What better place to spend fall than Fryeburg? Leaf-peeping, four-wheeling, trail hiking, fishing, and of course, easier access to the Fryeburg Fair, which will wrap up the state agricultural fair season on its last day, Sunday, Oct. 8.

32 CHRISTOPHER STREET — $600,000
3 beds, 2.5+ baths, 2,660 SF

Located through the woods from the fairgrounds in a small subdivision along the Saco River, this home was competed in 2019 and checks off several “must haves” for modern living: open concept living/kitchen/dining area with cathedral ceilings, skylights, and gas fireplace; a first-floor primary suite with soaking tub, double vanity, and walk-in closet; wraparound farmer’s porch; full basement, and a two-car garage, with bonus space above. Recent $75,000 listing price drop. Listed by Robyn Ela, Exit Heritage Real Estate. See the full listing.

4 DANA STREET — $330,000
3 beds, 1 bath, 1,502 SF

From this post-and-beam Cape in Fryeburg center, it’s a four-minute drive to the fairgrounds on a regular day, but during the week of the fair, you might be better off walking or cycling past the line of traffic. Or skip the crowds and enjoy the river from the town beach, which is even closer. The exposed beams are what belie the age of this home (circa 1858), as there seems to be a more recent roof installed, and the addition of a wood-paneled sunporch at the side entrance from the driveway.

1872 MAIN STREET — $499,500
4 beds, 2 baths, 3,981 SF

Situated on 3.6 acres about two miles from Fryeburg center, this 1909 farmhouse with a two-car garage-barn looks like a picture of contemporary country living. Enter across the three-season porch, find an updated kitchen with a walk-in pantry, and hardwood floors throughout. There’s an open house tomorrow, Saturday, Oct. 7, from 1 to 3 p.m., which is right in the sweet spot between the noon and 4:30 p.m. ox pulling demonstrations.
