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.
This cottage's great location gets high marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Lake Superior. Free WiFi and in-room jetted baths are available in the cottage.
  • Air-conditioned cottage with kitchen, washing machine and 3 bathrooms

New Years with friends
This home is amazing! It's exactly as advertised and is the cleanest home we've ever rented. The amenities are higher end. The views are incredible. I would definitely recommend this home to others. A small item to take into consideration would be to add a small chair or bench in the entryway to aid in putting shoes on.

Lovely historic cottage
This was our 2nd visit to The Pumphouse. Carin, our host, was easy to work with and responded quickly when we had questions. The cottage is decorated beautifully and is very comfortable. It has high end appliances in the kitchen and all the serviceware and cookware you’d expect. Being right on the lake is amazing. Great agate and sea glass hunting. Can’t wait to go back.
