Description
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 here 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 itself is an asset before the front door opens. Auburn Drive carries some of Grayton's oldest and most beloved cottages, many raised on pilings with views earned over decades. This new construction, completed in 2026, 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 site works in every direction. The ground floor establishes the register. A marble fireplace anchors the main interior space while an oversized wet bar island in leathered quartzite handles the social load.
