What kind of fireplace is good in a new home?
I am building a new house in Ohio. I have good access to wood but I do not want to take hassle of handling wood. What kind of file place should I build to get the best resale value when I sell the House. Wood, electric or gas and vented or vent free. Also I already built the chimney because I had wood fireplace in my mind when I started building the house. Your suggestions will be appreciated.

We have built three homes in the last 16 years and have had gas in all. It’s clean, you can turn it on (we have a remote) instantly and the "logs" and inserts are so realistic most people ask if it’s wood. The new home builds are vented. Wood is not only a lot of work but is dirty and though I like the smell, I’d rather have a firepit on the patio instead for that.
