Great new listings with fireplaces include actor Robert Duvall's former UWS home

132 East 19th Street, Unit 7F (Compass)

Thursday, Feb 22, 2024 By CityRealty Staff, CityRealty contributor

As winter unfolds with one month to go, the allure of unwinding by a fireplace remains irresistible. While outsiders may assume New Yorkers only find such solace in communal spaces, many apartment buildings and townhouses, especially those predating World War II, feature cozy hearths within individual residences. In newer buildings, fireplaces are often reserved for amenity spaces or larger, more luxurious units such as the penthouse.

An apartment with a built-in fireplace can either be a functioning wood-burning one, or a decorative one that should not be used. Functioning fireplaces exude warmth and a rustic charm, and assist in heating spaces during colder months, albeit requiring constant attention. Despite their appeal, they emit soot and smoke, necessitating diligent upkeep of chimneys and carbon monoxide monitoring. Moreover, while many people enjoy the look of a fireplace, they might not use a functional one as much as they initially imagined, especially if they frequently travel or lead busy lives.

Alternatively, decorative fireplaces present a low-maintenance yet aesthetically pleasing centerpiece for residential spaces. Although they lack the heating capacity of their wood-burning counterparts, they can emulate the ambiance with creative décor ideas like faux wood, string lights, or candles. While some decorative fireplaces can be made functional, obtaining approval from the building management is paramount for New York apartment owners.
