Most homes along this stretch of Grayton Beach play it expected. Whitewashed shiplap, soft coastal palette, the familiar vocabulary of a beach house doing its best impression of the one next door. Sixty-one Auburn does something different. The design intention was coastal industrial, and builder Chris Burch of Grand Bay Construction and architect Chris Stoyles of Archiscapes committed to it completely. Exposed steel beams run the full height of the home, solid and horizontal on the ground floor, shifting to a triangular pattern on the second for a detail that is structural and sculptural at once. Nearly every wall surface is mitered nickel-gap paneling, and ceiling is tongue and groove. The lot is an asset before the front door opens. Auburn Drive carries some of Grayton's oldest cottages, many raised on pilings with views earned over decades. This new construction occupies one of the street's highest natural positions and makes full use of it. The Gulf is visible from the pool deck, the kitchen, the primary balcony and the watchtower. The state park fills the view to the north. The ground floor establishes the register. A marble fireplace anchors the interior while a wet bar island in leathered quartzite handles the social load, flanked by a Sub-Zero wine chiller and a Sub-Zero pebble-ice refrigerator with freezer. Seven-panel nano doors open the south wall onto a gulf-front pool with a floating fire pit and sunning shelves. The summer kitchen adds a 52-inch DCS grill. A first-floor bedroom suite with a multi-head shower, soaking tub and dual vanities functions as a fully self-contained guest level. A flex room converts easily to office, bunk room or gym. The main living floor is where the coastal industrial intention reads most clearly. Triangular steel beams run the ceiling of a kitchen built for real cooking: 48-inch Thermador dual-oven range, Bosch dishwashers, quartzite waterfall counters, under-cabinet lighting and ceilings approaching 12 feet. A steel and glass door leads to the butler's pantry with GE Cafe ovens and a full prep counter. Seven-panel nano doors open to a covered balcony with an outdoor fireplace. A north balcony faces the state park. Elevator services all three primary floors. Above the garage, a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen for extended family. The third floor is built around the primary suite. An angular roofline pitches toward seven nano panels opening to a private gulf balcony, with a painted brick fireplace on the opposite wall. The bath delivers a stone countertop in cream, gray and oxidized orange, cement sink basins, a rain head and multi-body-sprayer shower with shell travertine tile, a freestanding tub within the glass enclosure and a hidden linear drain. The primary closet features full built-ins and a dedicated shoe wall. Two additional gulf-view guest suites complete the floor, each with a full en suite, HVAC-conditioned closets and distinct tile finishes. The watchtower runs on its own HVAC system. A pergola-covered corridor opens east. A porch swing faces the Gulf to the west. It is the kind of space that becomes a habit. Hidden-fastener decking, water hookups at every balcony level, view rail stair system with white oak treads and cable-and-steel handrails, whole-home smart system and surround sound, Moen smart toilets. Five bedrooms, six full baths, one powder bath. Two-car garage.

The Grayton House stands among the most significant homes in Grayton Beach. Rooted in the heart of Grayton Beach, with origins dating to the 1890s and a thoughtful 2022 reconstruction, this storied residence has been reimagined for modern coastal living, with architectural design by Gregory D. Jazayeri, interiors by Tami Owen of Owen Group Interiors, and reconstruction led by Daniel Brock. The result is a rare blend of Grayton history, thoughtful design, and contemporary comfort. Historic materials and architectural elements from the original home were incorporated where appropriate to preserve its character, while the residence was completed with the craftsmanship, comfort, and everyday ease expected in a modern coastal home. What makes the Grayton House especially compelling is the way it lives. Rather than relying on a single defining space, the home unfolds through a series of inviting indoor and outdoor living areas, allowing family and guests to gather naturally, enjoy real space, and move through the day with ease. The layout feels intentional. Primary suites on both living levels, additional bedroom suites, a dedicated bunk room, and a flexible guest wing with the comfort of its own living space and direct access to the pool terrace create a home that accommodates beautifully without feeling formal or forced. Mudroom space, generous storage, laundry on multiple levels, garage areas, elevator access from the garage level, and unusually generous parking for a home with gulf views add the practical ease that makes the home as functional as it is beautiful. Expansive porches extend from bedrooms and common areas, framing immersive views across native dunes, coastal vegetation, and the gulf beyond. These outdoor spaces feel less like balconies and more like open-air rooms, creating a natural connection between the home and its setting at Grayton Beach. At the heart of the outdoor experience, the pool terrace, outdoor kitchen, dining area, and fireplace create a natural place to land after the beach and continue into the evening. Inside, layered living spaces, a beautifully appointed kitchen, a wet bar, and multiple areas for gathering allow the home to host with ease. Rich in history yet thoroughly current in execution, The Grayton House offers something increasingly difficult to recreate in Grayton Beach. It is a meaningful historic residence with the comfort, character, scale, views, and livability of a modern coastal home.
