But the corner between that door and the fireplace seems like a tucked away corner that you could build out and put a stackable unit.

My spouse feels that I am leaning too heavily toward the older home and being distracted by vaulted ceilings and double sided fireplaces and vinyl fenced yard and upgraded kitchen furnishings where she is looking primarily at new with no undetected wear and having a full home warranty. 

Disposals, water softeners, whole house humidifiers and fireplaces should all be avoided in rental homes.

Also, our bank suggested we list all the materials used, as it increases the value and also highlight property features such as hardwood floors, number of fireplaces, ect.

We are looking at the difference between a 3 and 4 bedroom, and a house with a fireplace versus a house with a fireplace and woodburning stove.

Water or fire can kill you if you are irresponsible with them, but nobody goes around calling swimming or owning a house with a fireplace dumb. 

What did you do to the fireplace and surrounding glass?

For every home I've ever bought, I've had a pest, property, roof, and fireplace inspection performed.Once the reports are returned, you can determine if you are ok with the condition (proceed with closing), not ok (exercise your contingency clause and exit the deal), or whether you want to negotiate certain items with the seller to have them fix and/or have them lower the price/give you a credit at closing to compensate you for doing the work.
