If I had that house in the country, I'd love one of those.
My dream retirement is a small house & a big workshop on 20 acres that I slowly clear (exposing a great view!) for lumbar and heating in a central wood boiler. My wood shop needs to have loud sound system, a coffeepot, a view of a meadow with deer, and a porch where I can watch the sun go down with my Black Lab. Oh yeah, Joyce can come along too if she wants!
I've wondered about an additional radiator in the kitchen and, though I haven't priced it, suspect that the price would be very close to an installed stove.
It would win out for practicality, but lose points in "charm".
