fortunately, no. Whats interesting is that the house is actually a former 1 room school house, centrally mounted wood stove and all. It was a 1 room school house for 100 years, before being turned into a small residence, still one room. Its now a cabin deep in the woods, and I like the area, lakes are nearby, walking distance, and im only 30 minutes out from work
In the late 70s, early 80s, an extension was made to the back of the building, making it a 2 bedroom, one bath residence, but I find the building unique, in that the one room school house main space was preserved, making for an extremely large feeling of space in a tiny house with a high ceiling.
Additionally attractive to me is that it was owned by a succession of cabinet makers, so its filled with space saving custom cabinetry.
Other additions were a small porch, and a deck. My understanding of the area is that there are no restrictions on how I can modify the building if I buy it, but im checking on some of the finer points
