The Murray House, as it is fondly known, was not on the open market when it was purchased by the current owners, a family with generational ties to Grayton. They hired O. B. Laurent Construction to helm the renovation of the unique 1920's cottage. The two year long project began in 1991 was followed by the construction of the carriage house in 1996. The main house kitchen was later renovated and the pool was added in 2005, joined by the Hufham Farris built pool cabana two years later. One of the special features of this 6 bedroom + bunk room property is its spacious amount of open area.
