A House with a Cave
Nestled into the hillside just below the Plummer house and iconic water tower, the historic Plummer Pump House is offered to the public for the first time in 34 years. This beautifully preserved property in southwest Rochester offers flexible living spaces, privacy, and intimate outdoor areas. Designed by Ellerbe and Plummer, the home features original carriage doors and charming exterior details which enhance its beauty. Modern elements were designed with a nod to Rochester history – the period slate flooring and the sweeping floating staircase with brass accents. The lovely sitting room with fireplace has the original beamed ceiling and pegged wood flooring – Dr. Plummer was said to have sought refuge in this room when he needed to study in peace. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 3000 finished square feet. One of the most enticing features are the attached caves, the opportunities are endless for this additional 3600 square feet of space. Own a part of Rochester’s history!
