7 homes with fireplaces to conquer the cold

Waking up this morning, many a San Franciscan was aghast to discover a glacial, numbing chill blanketing their air. While no Californian should ever have to suffer through 40-below indignities, it’s nice to know that there are preventative measures—measures that should be taken posthaste.

In lieu of buying an air fan heater (which we do not recommend) or an oil heater (which we strongly recommend), why not purchase one of these multi-million dollar homes that come with their own choice fireplace(s)?
