Editor’s note: This article was originally published in December 2016 and has since been updated with the most recent information.

Given Philly’s age, there’s no shortage of homes that have fireplaces. Sure, oftentimes they need a lot of elbow grease and maintenance, but there’s no doubt that when winter comes around all that hard work suddenly feels incredibly worthwhile—and peak hygge.

As we learned in Curbed’s Period Dramas column on the history of hearths, today’s modern fireplace really serves more for pleasure than as a main source of heat. There’s just something about them that’s so idyllic, as evidenced by these seven homes, many of which boast multiple fireplaces. Better yet, the homes are all for sale.

The historic Frank Miles Day building in Washington Square West was converted into condos, and each boast multiple gorgeous fireplaces like this one. This particular two-bedroom, two-bath condo boasts not one, but two of these beautiful fireplaces. It’s asking $849,000.

This stone fireplace is just one of three found throughout the home, asking $2,695,000.
