Mid-Century Time Capsule on a Quiet Cul-de-Sac | Designed by Donald Honn | Near Texas Tech
Welcome to 2508—where time stands still and style stands bold. This authentic mid-century modern masterpiece is tucked away on a serene cul-de-sac just minutes from Texas Tech University, in the architecturally significant Lortondale neighborhood, a design legacy originally developed by Donald Honn.
With only two owners in its lifetime, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been lovingly preserved in near-original condition, offering a rare opportunity to live in a true architectural time capsule. Think Palm Springs meets Frank Lloyd Wright, with a dash of Mad Men.
Features that Make You Swoon:
• Genuine Parquet Wood Floors throughout—original and impeccably cared for.
• Vintage Tile Bathrooms in iconic pastel hues.
• Vaulted Ceilings & Clerestory Windows flooding the space with natural light.
• Retro Wood-Burning Stove set in the 2nd living area with classic mid-century ambiance.
• A wall of glass opening up to a private backyard framed by towering, mature trees—front and back—creating a natural canopy of dappled sunlight.
Historic & Award-Winning Design:
This home is part of a collection of award-winning mid-century homes from Donald Honn, whose vision was inspired by the modernist movement and brought to life right here in Lubbock. These homes are the architectural siblings of the Lortondale neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma (read more), celebrated for their timeless design, livable floorplans, and unique community character.
Nature, Nostalgia & Neighborhood Charm:
• Located on a peaceful street with little traffic.
• Surrounded by large, heritage trees that offer shade and serenity.
• Minutes to campus, downtown, and Lubbock's cultural core.
This isn't just a house—it's a piece of history.
Own a preserved piece of mid-century architecture and become a steward of its story.
