About homes with a fireplace in Golden

This page shows homes with a fireplace for sale in Golden, and the count updates the moment a home lists or closes.

Wood-burning has rules. Front Range counties run high-pollution "no burn" days from November to March, and wood fireplaces sit idle on them. A wood fireplace in Golden is a weekend luxury, not a heat source.

Gas is the everyday fireplace. A gas insert or direct-vent unit heats the room on a switch and needs a yearly service. Most Golden homes built after 1995 have one.

Chimney inspection. A Level 2 chimney inspection runs $250 to $500 and finds cracked flue tiles, creosote and a missing liner. We order one on every wood-burning fireplace we write on.

Wood stoves and pellet stoves in Evergreen, Conifer and the foothills are real heat and are regulated by the county. Ask for the EPA certification and the insurance rider.

Conversions and inserts. A wood fireplace converts to gas for $2,500 to $6,000 when a gas line is near. An electric insert is a $500 fix for a fireplace that will never burn again.
