Pumphouse on Lake Superior I 200’ Lake Superior Frontage I Incredible Views

https://www.duluthpumphouse.com

Welcome to the historic Pumphouse on Lake Superior with 200' of lakeshore! The Pumphouse is one of Duluth's iconic and historical properties. This home was originally designed by John Wangenstein in 1860 as the water pump house for the City of Duluth but was abandoned when the new pump house was built in 1897. Miss Elisabeth Congdon purchased it and hired renowned architect Harold Starin to convert the pump house into an absolutely stunning French-style home. Enormous 8' windows face the courtyard and London Road, while a terrace along the entire length of the home overhangs Lake Superior. French doors frame the large living room and its commanding view of Lake Superior and the Aerial Lift Bridge. This stunning 3,100 square foot French home sits on 200' of lakefront on London Road. The Pumphouse faces southeast for beautiful sunrises and overhangs Lake Superior. The home features large multi-paned French windows, French doors, 10-foot ceilings, a Pullman-style kitchen, period chandeliers, four gas fireplaces, and other unique elements. You can enjoy a fire in our fire pit next to the lake or leisurely escape to the terrace to listen to the many sounds of the lake. There are two flights of stairs going from the parking area to the lakeside Pumphouse (which may be challenging for those with mobility concerns). We are located lakeside on London Road, just a short drive to Duluth's downtown restaurants, entertainment, and Canal Park. PL19-166.

Weekend Getaway
Gorgeous house. A great place to relax and enjoy spectacular Lake Superior. We enjoyed being able to spend the time in Duluth but also close enough to explore the North Shore.

Perfection
Came for an our annual girls weekend trip and we all fell in love with the PumpHouse-the place looks exactly like the photos, we all loved how we could hear the waves from whatever room we were in. Enjoyed all the fireplaces and the beds were so comfortable and bedding felt luxurious. Communication with the host was super prompt and accommodating - can’t wait to stay again in the future!

Great time at pumphouse
In all the years traveling to the north shore we have driven by the Pumphouse and never knew such a wonderful place was right there. Very unique and spectacular place. I totally appreciated the level of detail in this structure. I would come here again and have recommended many friends already to visit to the Pumphouse.
