Can you mount a TV over a fireplace?

Yes. Brick and stone take masonry anchors and more time, and heat over a working fireplace is worth a conversation before the holes go in.

Can you hide the wires?

A paintable cord cover is the cheap route. An in wall power and cable kit is the clean route and needs a drywall wall. A new receptacle behind the TV goes to the electrician.

Do I need to buy the mount?

Buy one rated for the TV weight and the VESA pattern on the back, or tell us the TV and we bring one at cost.
