5 Reasons to Have a Fireplace in Your Home

January 16, 2021

One of the most popular features in our new homes in Allen TX is a fireplace. Now that cooler weather is here, our homeowners are enjoying the flickering warmth and ambience that a fireplace provides.

Here are 5 reasons to have a fireplace in your home:

1. It adds cozy ambience and a feeling of timeless tradition. There is something instinctive about warming ourselves in front of a fire. The mesmerizing play of the flames can be very relaxing and meditative.
2. A fireplace contributes heat to the room. You can turn down the thermostat and enjoy the radiant heat from the fireplace.
3. Spending time with family and friends in the winter is even more enjoyable when everyone is gathered around a cheery fire. You can even roast marshmallows and make s’mores in your fireplace!
4. Decorating your family room is easier with a fireplace as a focal point. Hang a wreath, mirror or art piece above the mantel for instant impact.
5. If your heating system or electricity are out, a fireplace can serve as an emergency heat and light source.

Fireplaces are so popular with our homeowners that we include them as options in many of our floor plans. Our plan #564 Weston Collection and #555 Beltanna Collection are just two of our plans with optional corner fireplaces in the family room. The corner placement allows for easy furniture arrangements that make the most of the room’s advantages.

These two floor plans are available in Pecan Meadow in Allen TX. This community is a small, intimate neighborhood of just 120 homes within the City of Allen. Living in Pecan Meadow gives you the serenity of a suburban-style neighborhood close to the conveniences of the city.
