Outside the kitchen, the living room is the central hub of the home.  It is where your family regularly gathers and relaxes after a family meal, enjoys lively conversations and movie-nights.  And it is also where the Christmas tree takes central stage over the holidays, presents are unwrapped and life long memories created.

Within the living room the fireplace tends to be the main focal point, providing a warm cozy environment, particularly on those cool winter days.

All of our Shane Homes floorplans with double front attached garage include a fireplace in the main floor living room.  Likewise, all of our Shane Homes showhomes include a fireplace.

If you are renovating your existing home or building new, please enjoy our selection of fireplace photos from our showhomes;  we hope they inspire you to create a design that warms your heart and home.
