We'll be running nat gas up to that floor so the Mrs can put in a washer/dryer
near the bedroom and master bath and avoid lugging lanudry up and down the
stairs.
I think that would be an opportunity to put in a small, thermostatically
controlled fireplace.
==========================
The esthetics of a gas fireplace might be attractive but if the
bedroom is insulated, windows tight, and the heating demand modest,
I'd go with an oil filled electric unit. They are safe, reasonably
priced, provide an even, draft free heat source, and can be controlled
by an inexpensive timer to warm up only when you need heat. We used
one in our dining room when we lived outside of NYC and it worked out
very well. It was on a timer set to heat up just before dinner time.
We brought it to FL with us for those rare chilly nights in the
family room.
