Moving? No just moving the house

Real Estate Agent with Beachfront Realty 3220434

This is another so so Miami story. You see EVERYTHING here is done differently! The new owners of 27 Star Island-yes this is neighbors of Gloria Estefan, Rosie O'Donnell, Sean Diddy Combs etc, bought this old waterfront estate and instead of demolishing it just moved it to the side of the lot.

I could not pass up the op to see this and of course in true Miami style be serenaded by musicians all the while the house was being lifted, pushed, turned and pulled about 150 feet and 90 degrees to the left side of the property.

The grand dame will become the guest house to the new mega mansion that will soon reside over her old foot print. Can't wait to see it when it is all done. Enjoy the photos taken by my associate Sean.

very cool, I do hope they preserve the architecture ( love the arches/windows and porches ) 

we'd love to see the new home when it gets done let us see--Im hoping they reflect the old home character into the new design !!

That is very cool.  We don't see many homes being moved here in Colorado.  I guess it has something to do with that basement thing.....

Classic! 

     I have read that Miamians were getting upset about the nouveau rich tearing down classic houses to enlarge their lots.  I guess that this is the solution.

Nice house, good that they decided to move it and use it rather than demolish it as so many others would have.
