Graystone (GRAYS)

Built in the late 1920s and ideally located in Carmel’s coveted Golden Rectangle, “Graystone” sits just six blocks from both Carmel Beach and Ocean Avenue. This charming and historic two-bedroom, one-bath cottage blends classic craftsmanship with timeless character. Originally designed and constructed by George Whitcomb, the home was named in honor of the family matriarch. The main house is wood-framed and encircled by a unique free-standing stone structure. Locally sourced stone from Carmel Valley and custom wrought iron hardware forged in town reflect the home’s authentic heritage. A stone stairway from the driveway leads you to the main entrance. Inside, the spacious living area features soaring redwood ceilings, a distinctive stone fireplace (limited use), cozy seating, a built-in window bench, and a partial ocean view. Adjacent is the well-appointed kitchen, complete with tile countertops, brick flooring, a gas range, electric oven, dishwasher, microwave, and a top-freezer refrigerator. The adjoining dining/family room offers seating for 4–6 and provides a relaxed space to gather and watch TV. Bedrooms and bath are tucked at the rear of the house for added privacy. The primary bedroom includes a Queen bed, decorative corner stone fireplace, skylight, and built-in bookcase. The guest bedroom features antique twin mahogany beds, a walk-in closet, and direct access to the quaint back patio. Outdoors, enjoy a private patio area with a BBQ grill and table seating for four — perfect for alfresco dining in the coastal breeze. Come stay at “Graystone” and experience a rare piece of Carmel-by-the-Sea history in this enchanting coastal retreat!
