They named it Sunset Terrace for a reason. From this deck you watch the sun drop over the main basin of Lake Panorama — west light, open water, and the kind of evening sky owners do not give up. That is why these eight homes almost never reach the open market. The view is second to none, and the people who live here know it.
5421 Chimra Road, Unit 2 lives like a waterfront home, not a stacked condo. Pull into your private garage, walk through 2,160 square feet of finished living, and step onto a private deck built for the last hour of the day. Sunsets sit on the rail. The yard meets the lake. An extended dock is at the grass. Single-level living above a walkout lower level: three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, an open great room to a renovated kitchen, a lake-view primary suite that takes the basin light first, a second living room with fireplace, and a bunk room for the crew.
Kitchen and baths rebuilt in 2020 — new cabinets, quartz throughout, tile showers with glass, updated plumbing, reverse osmosis. Lennox HVAC and a smart thermostat the same year. New water heater in 2023. Entire building re-roofed in 2026. Painting, electrical, blinds, appliances, garage opener, and deck work already done. Show up. The view is already working.
Eight residences. Main basin. Private garage, private deck, and a yard on the water. When one of the eight comes up, there is no substitute on this shoreline. Highly sought after. Rarely listed. Come for the house. Stay for the sunset.
