There's just something about a roaring fire that makes you instantly fall in love with a room. But if your space has no fireplace, the masonry work to build one can be quite expensive—and not worth the real-estate investment. Enter wood-burning stoves: all the charm and warmth, with a cheaper price tag and a solid fiscal return.

"A wood-burning stove is a win-win for buyers and sellers," says Connecticut-based real-estate agent Erica Popick Kevrekian. "They not only transform a house into a home, they are also major energy savers." (The idea: You'll use your furnace less.) They're also more adaptable than fireplaces: Unlike stone chimneys, which require foundational support and an architect's help, "freestanding wood-burning stoves can typically go in any room in the house," says Paul LaPorte, CEO of MF Fire.
