The easiest reasonable (cost and efficiency) thing to install is a direct vent (sealed ti the interior) gas fireplace. It uses outside air for combustion eliminating draft and backdraft questions as well as the inevitable problem of drawing in cold outside are from leaks all over the house to supply combustion air. I would not consider an unvented fireplace.

It possible to add a fireplace. Do you want electric, gas, or wood burning? Your choice will determine the level of difficulty and cost.

Well, the two least destructive routes would be an electric or vent-free gas fireplace (they don't need a chimney of HE vent). With a regular gas or wood burning fireplace/stove, you'll need a chimney/vent installed, which ups the price considerably

How about a freestanding wood stove? More effective than a fireplace and possibly less effort to install.

I added a wood burning fireplace insert with gas starter to my home in 2005. I have a two story home, so a chimney was built up the entire side of the house. A cement footer was poured to support the weight of the fireplace. On the inside, we have a 6 foot wide span of stone veneer that goes up 8 ft to ceiling. Gas meter is on same side of house so we went ahead and ran a gas line, mostly for resale purposes (we have never used the gas). I think we spent about $12,000 in 2005 to have fireplace and chimney added.

The easiest way would to add an electric fireplace. The photo shown below shows a stone fireplace with electric insert and TV set into the build out of the original wall.
