Getting chestnuts roasted isn’t a problem within the walls of any of these 11 toasty houses.
We put a log on the fire and poked through listings nationwide to find homes with a minimum of seven fireplaces. The homes we’ve found do more than provide heat—they also offer a veritable smorgasbord of choice chimneys for Santa to slide down, as well as oodles of acres of mantels for hanging stuffed stockings.
The home we spotted with the most fireplaces is in the unlikely location of Southern California—an area where icicles and frost are not an issue. This Spanish-style home in San Diego County boasts a whopping 18 fireplaces, including outdoor fire bowls flanking the pool.
Quite apart from that outlier, we also found a number of antique Colonials and Victorians with double-digit hearths. Which makes sense, since these residences relied on fireplaces to keep their cavernous rooms livable in the winter.
So whether you’re huddled up around a Duraflame, an outdoor fire pit, or the televised Yule Log, we know you’ll want to unwrap these addresses with fireplaces galore and holiday spirit to spare.
Happy holidays!
