NJ Beach House Ready To Sail
03/15/09 - Amazing
“Sure, housing prices are falling. But how’s this for a bargain for a Long Island, N.Y. couple: An iconic beach house, designed by a world famous architect, for just $1. The catch? They have to pay at least $100,000 to move it on a barge from the Jersey shore to their home. But that’s just fine with Robert Gotkin and Deborah Sarnoff, who run a husband-and-wife dermatology and plastic surgery practice in New York. They already live in one house designed by architect Robert Venturi, and plan to use the newest addition as a guest cottage. The house set sail from a marina in Barnegat Light, on Long Beach Island, just before 8 p.m. Thursday and is expected to arrive in Glen Cove, N.Y., Friday afternoon after a 95-mile waterborne trip.” w/ photo
