It’s always impressive to see a well-built house relocated so its story can continue.

We moved this Legacy Waterfront Home from Kirkland, Washington, to Lopez Island by barge. And it’s easy to see why this home was worth moving.

With floor-to-ceiling windows, beautiful water views and bright, open living spaces, this 3,296 square foot custom home had so much worth keeping.

The setting would change, but so much of what made the house special could stay. That’s one of the most rewarding parts of the work we do.

A home with room to gather, space to unwind and windows to enjoy the view.

Sunbeach Waterfront Home is a custom two-story home offering 2,315 sq. ft., three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a generous office that could become a fourth bedroom.

Large windows stretch across the living room, dining area and kitchen, making it a lovely fit for a waterfront, near-waterfront or scenic property. Open gathering spaces bring family and friends together, while the upstairs bedrooms offer a quieter place to retreat.

A main-floor bedroom and a large bathroom with an oversized soaking tub and separate walk-in shower add to the home’s comfort. An oversized two-car garage can optionally move with the house.

Whether it becomes your everyday family home or a favourite place to get away, there’s room for new memories here.

Available for relocation from Greater Seattle. Contact us today to arrange a viewing and learn more about moving it to your property. Full listing details are available in the comments.

Three moves. More than a century of history.

Built in 1923, Everett’s Weyerhaeuser Building served as a mill office and a showcase for Pacific Northwest timber craftsmanship.

It travelled by barge in 1938 and again in 1983 as the waterfront evolved. In July 2016, we carried its story forward, relocating the 350-ton building, including its concrete and steel vault to Boxcar Park.

The journey covered less than a mile and took approximately 11 hours, continuing through the night into the morning.

Today, it lives on as The Muse Wh***ey & Coffee, preserving a connection to Everett’s lumber history.

We believe many more buildings have a next chapter waiting to be written — with a new place, a new purpose and renewed value. We’re here to help make it possible.

Watch the video to see the remarkable work behind its journey to a new home.

The upgraded kitchen, bathroom, and utility room add everyday comfort, while three freshly painted bedrooms and an additional bathroom upstairs provide plenty of space.

And then there are the covered front and rear verandas — the perfect spots to enjoy warm afternoons and take in the character of this special home.

A century-old mansion, taking a turn.

Watch Vancouver’s 1912 Cypress Mansion rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise — a remarkable sight from our crew’s work at 3823 Cypress Street in 2024.

The project combined lateral movement and rotation to position the building on a new foundation within the existing site. Tight clearances required an approach designed around the mansion and its surroundings.

Take a closer look at the incredible work behind the turn.

We recently came across a community post from 2024 about this house move, and it was lovely to see many people followed along, took photos and cheered the home on as it travelled to its new location.

This 2,500 sq. ft. West Coast home originally stood on Judges Row in Qualicum Beach. Built and once owned by H.R. MacMillan, one of British Columbia’s best-known entrepreneurs, it was filled with beautiful woodwork and the kind of character that’s difficult to recreate today.

In 2024, the house found a new owner and made its way to a property in the Campbell River area, where it was given the chance to continue as a family home.

Thank you to everyone who shared the original post, followed the move and cheered on our crew along the way. Seeing the community recognize the value of this well-built home and celebrate its second chance meant a lot to us.

We wanted to share a few more photos and a little more of the story behind its journey.

The open kitchen and dining area flow into the main living space, creating a warm and inviting setting for everyday family life, quiet mornings and relaxed gatherings with friends.

Seeing a well-loved home was given the chance to carry on.

This home truly is a Queen. In 2008, she was recognized as an award-winning home by the District of West Vancouver and the North Shore Heritage Society.

In 2020, this 95-year-old “Queen Marine” left her longtime home on Marine Drive in West Vancouver for a new beginning on Malcolm Island. The journey took place overnight, with our crew carefully moving the house through West Vancouver, past traffic lights, beneath utility lines and across railway tracks. The timing was coordinated with the high tide, allowing the barge to move close enough to shore for the house to be safely transferred aboard.

This move was made possible by the developer, new owners, local authorities, heritage advocates and our moving crew working together. We hope more people will recognize the value of well-built older homes and consider relocation and reuse before demolition. With a shared vision and strong collaboration, more of these homes can continue their stories in new communities.
