About this home

Rich in history and timeless character, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home sits in the heart of Lubbock's historic South Overton neighborhood, just a short walk from Texas Tech University and Jones AT&T Stadium. Homes of this era, with this level of architectural integrity, rarely come available so close to campus. This is a unique opportunity to own a true piece of Lubbock history. From the street, the home's Spanish Revival influence is immediately apparent, highlighted by its original clay tile roof, classic stucco exterior, and undeniable curb appeal. Mature trees frame the property, creating a setting that feels surprisingly removed from the city around it. Inside, the front foyer opens into the living room, an artistic showpiece that feels like a preserved time capsule. Elegant arched openings define the space and lead to a striking wall of French style doors, likely original and crafted from solid wood, a signature detail of early 20th century homes. To the right, a formal dining room offers tall ceilings and abundant natural light. The original butler's pantry connects the space to the kitchen, adding both charm and functionality for entertaining. The home features two bedrooms that share a bathroom, along with a separate mother in law style bedroom complete with its own ensuite. Throughout the home, beautiful hardwood floors await refinishing by a new owner ready to restore them to their former glory. Out back, there is a large covered patio and a spacious backyard ready to be brought back to life. An additional backyard space sits behind the main home and serves the rear apartment. The back house is approximately 240 square feet and includes its own kitchenette and bathroom, offering flexibility for guests, rental income, or a private workspace. Handcrafted light fixtures, believed to be original, are found throughout the home and add to its character and authenticity. These are details you truly need to see in person to appreciate. While the home is ready for restoration, it does include several updates, including private fencing, a concrete driveway, and an HVAC system. Adding to its significance, the property served as the original home of what later became Jackson Private School in the early 1950s, an important chapter in Lubbock's educational history. Though not formally designated as a historic landmark, its past use and long term stewardship contribute to its unique story and lasting appeal. Whether envisioned as a primary residence, an investment opportunity, or a preservation project, 2307 18th Street stands as a rare offering, architecturally beautiful, historically rich, and ideally located within walking distance of Texas Tech University and Jones AT&T Stadium. This home is priced nearly 75,000 dollars under appraisal, leaving plenty of room for a new owner to make it their own. And yes, even some of the antique furniture pieces can be purchased with the home. Come take a tour before we have to start charging an admission fee.
