CALIFORNIA — Modern living means most don't rely on fireplaces to heat their homes, and in some regions, statewide, wood-burning is restricted. Yet that cozy, hearth setting still remains on home buyers' amenity lists and can add value to a property, according to real estate professionals.

So this week, we bring you a California sampling of one-of-a-kind market listings, accompanied by their one-of-a-kind fireplaces. Some homes boast multiples, some with eye-catching, focal-point versions, one residence has an indoor-AND-outdoor combo, and a couple dilapidated fireplaces are included in fixer-upper houses, just waiting for handyman saviors.

Which one fits your style? Tell us in the comments.
