This unique fireplace is covered in 218 sq ft of stone veneer from floor to ceiling, and features two arched insets. One inset is around the firebox and the other is a tall niche above the mantle. Both feature keystone and soldier courses around the arch. The raised hearth which goes around the entire three-sided fireplace features flagstone on top and stone veneer on the front and sides.

The fireplace is a custom blend of styles in a variety of colors, including Fieldstone, Cobblestone and Regal Ashlar in Bull Run, New England and Conestoga colors. An off-white mortar was chosen to make each individual stone and its shape contrast.
