Iconic NJ beach house ready to sail to NY

BARNEGAT LIGHT, N.J. (AP) - March 12, 2009 The Lieb (LEEB) House was lifted onto a barge Thursday morning in Barnegat Light. Workers are preparing it for its 95-mile trip to Glen Cove, N.Y. The home was designed by architect Robert Venturi and his wife, Denise Scott Brown.

The barge isn't expected to leave before 6 p.m., when the tides become more favorable. It is expected to arrive Friday.

New owners Deborah Sarnoff and Robert Gotkin plan to use it as a guest cottage. They already live in a house designed by the famed architects and think the two structures would be perfect together.

The sale price? One dollar.

But it will cost $100,000 to get it there.
