How much value will a wood burning fireplace add to a brownstone?

Categories: Fireplace/Mantle

I was just wondering how much value is generated by the addition of a wood burning fireplace to a single family brownstone. We have an old gas one that is now strictly ornamental. I know that the conversion to wood, and the necessarry chimney and plaster work would cost $5-6,000. Would that expense be recoverable in a potential sale?
