After a frighteningly warm December, winter is finally here with a vengeance—and homeowners across the U.S. are desperate to ward off the season’s wicked chill. We can’t think of a better way to get warm than to sit in front of a cozy fire.Sure, there are fireplace haters out there, but even the most ardent critic might fall prey to the charms of a crackling log in the fireplaces we’ve selected.
We found hearths for every taste—from extravagant to rustic and every ember in between. So put another log on the fire and take a look at these nine fabulous fireplaces. We won’t even make you sweep up the ashes.
6883 Alydar Corte, Rancho Santa Fe, CAPrice: $10,998,000
Feel the burn: Opulence in full effect. Taking cues from the Palace of Versailles, this Southern California mansion might be the perfect place to become an absolute monarch. Curl up in front of the flames and read a good book. We recommend “A Concise History of the French Revolution.”
101 Rolling Hill Rd, Greenville, NYPrice: $299,900
Feel the burn: This enormous fireplace is sure to keep dinner guests toasty warm. You can also roast your dinner in the fireplace. Built expressly for cooking in 1793, it’s survived over two centuries of use.
4940 Marietta Ave, Marietta, PAPrice: $1,299,000
Feel the burn: The fireplace in this classic Victorian appears as if it stepped straight out of the 1870s. Take your tea and discuss the day’s events in front of a crackling fire.
1032 Broadway, San Francisco, CAPrice: $12,000,000
Feel the burn: In the City by the Bay, foggy nights (and days) are common. This massive fireplace in a vintage Russian Hill mansion will ward off the chills of the city.
2829 Fairview Rd, Camp Hill, PAPrice: $324,900
Feel the burn: We couldn’t let a look at fireplaces go by without a nod to the ’70s. This cool circular design (with accompanying conversation pit!) will encourage your guests to gather ’round the hearth and share deep thoughts.
170 Shonnard Ter, Yonkers, NYPrice: $4,950,000
Feel the burn: Anyone for brandy? This mansion features a grand stone fireplace, which looks like the perfect place to retire for an aperitif. If this fireplace doesn’t speak to you, don’t sweat it—there are 10 (!) others in the house.
