There are fireplaces, and then there are fireplaces. There are five working ones (and three not) in this fully restored Brooklyn Heights townhouse, the most intricate of which has an elaborately ornamented marble surround. Its horseshoe opening is ribboned with carved marble and cast-iron. Plenty of other period details remain, including inlaid floors and stylized ceiling medallions.
