Yes, it is possible but it would take a very powerful tornado to do so. One of at least EF4 strength if the house isn't well anchored. If it is well anchored it would likely require an EF5 tornado.

One person managed to capture such an event on video near the town of Elie, Manitoba on June 22, 2007. Despite the tornado's relatively small size it was violent enough to be rated as Canada's only official F5 tornado.

Can a tornado pick up a concrete house?

It is highly unlikely for a tornado to pick up a well-built and properly anchored concrete house. Concrete houses are more structurally sound and resistant to high winds compared to houses made of lighter materials like wood.
