Some homes are designed to impress, while others are designed to make you want to stay awhile. At 1815 Jim Simmons in Flagstaff’s Forest Highlands community, the latter seems to be the idea.
Offered for the first time at $4.25 million, the 4,969-square-foot home sits on just under an acre overlooking the 12th fairway of the Meadow Golf Course. Towering pines surround the property, creating a private setting while still offering views of the course.
Built in 2007, the five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom home features warm mountain architecture and plenty of space for bringing family and friends together. With expansive gathering areas and generous bedrooms, the layout is particularly suited to the kind of extended stays that make the most of Northern Arizona’s cooler summers and snowy winters.
One of the home’s more notable features is its two primary suites on the main level. The arrangement provides flexibility for homeowners and guests while also allowing for true main-level living. The rest of the floor plan continues that emphasis on gathering. Rather than being a home centered around a single formal living space, it offers multiple areas where people can spread out, settle in and spend time together.
That makes the property well suited to long weekends, holidays and summer getaways, when having plenty of room for a house full of people can make all the difference. The setting is arguably just as important as the house itself. The property overlooks the 12th fairway, but the surrounding mature trees keep the home feeling tucked away.
The combination of golf course views and towering pines gives the property a distinctly Flagstaff feel, while the nearly one-acre lot provides a sense of space that’s harder to find in more densely developed areas. With five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a three-car garage and nearly 5,000 square feet of living space, the home offers plenty of room without losing the cozy character that makes mountain properties appealing.
For buyers looking for a Forest Highlands retreat that can accommodate family, friends and plenty of time spent together, 1815 Jim Simmons offers a setting built around exactly that.
