5921 Ponca St, Austin, TX 78741 is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom single family residence listed at $589,000 ($637/sqft). 924 sqft. Built in 1950. MLS #9745405. Listed by Newfound Real Estate.
Property Overview
This rare East Austin offering presents an exceptional opportunity at 5921 Ponca Street: two adjacent lots totaling nearly a quarter-acre with a renovated 2-bed, 2-bath home positioned on a bluff edge backing directly to fifty acres of protected City of Austin and nonprofit-held greenbelt. The 924-square-foot residence maximizes its unique setting with a private deck that extends over the tree canopy, framing downtown skyline views during winter months and providing year-round tranquility above the forest floor.
The home itself reflects thoughtful renovation with tile and wood flooring, central heat and air, and in-unit laundry for convenience. Each bedroom connects to its own full bathroom, while the main-level layout suits both primary residence and investment purposes. HardiPlank construction and a composition roof speak to durability, and the fenced, privacy-screened yard protects this slice of nature.
Location amplifies the value: residents step directly into Roy G. Guerrero Metro Park's river trail system, positioning this Gordon J Brown subdivision property as a rare convergence of Austin nature preservation and urban proximity. At $637 per square foot, the pricing reflects not just the structure but the adjacent land potential and unmatched greenbelt access in an increasingly sought East Austin corridor.
