Two very special historic homes are available in the Hyde Park National Register District, a pleasant walkable neighborhood in Central Austin. Each was saved from demolition and its future secured through the city's historic preservation program. Located on corner lots set aside by Monroe Shipe for his keystone show properties, these houses are neighborhood icons of victory over neglect and demolition.

The 1909 Woodburn House is an Austin City Landmark and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Now a popular bed and breakfast, this exquisite restoration has six bedrooms and 6.5 baths, including two large master suites, a dream kitchen and flowing formal rooms. Located at 4401 Avenue D and offered for $995,000.

The Marcuse-Lowry House, an 1894 Victorian, is a City of Austin Landmark with a large entry, three corner fireplaces, and original details. It has two living rooms, formal dining, and eat-in country kitchen, three bedrooms, two baths, and an upstairs bonus room. The carriage house is converted for rental, studio or office. Located at 3913 Avenue C and offered for $475,000.
