This typically requires a height of 40-42 inches from the floor to the bottom of the fireplace. Some people place their fireplaces under their TVs, which is an attractive option.

However, the height of your fireplace will depend on certain factors, such as the size of the room and the length of the wall on which you'd like to place it.
