We are looking at houses to buy and have narrowed it down to two. Both of them have fireplaces that act as dividers between rooms. House #1 has a nice fireplace that divides a sitting room and living room. It's gas and opens on both sides. It's also very slim and is framed by a wall.
House #2 has a huge brick fireplace that divides a small sunroom and the living room. It takes up a large amount of space and looks out of place. It only opens to one side - the back side is solid brick. We are wondering how difficult/costly it would be to remodel the fireplace on this house to look more like house #1, because house #2 is 8k less and has some other features we like more than house #1.
