What would you do with this fireplace?
This is in a house we just bought to rehab and hold, but now I think I am going to flip it instead. What would you do to this fireplace? I want it to look really nice, but not totally out of place in a neighborhood of cookie-cutter '80s houses (all of which have the same tile-surround fireplace). ARV is about $160K, but I might get as much as $170K if it hits the sweet spot between awesome and overimproved. Leaving it as-is is an option too.
EDIT: I'd also appreciate thoughts on accent walls in flips. This house is small, and I've seen listing photos of the same layout looking really tiny without the depth added by an accent wall. But I'm not feeling the maroon.
