There is the ability to add a bathroom to the finished basement area if a new owner desired one, making it an even more versatile space. Please note that being listed in the National Register of Historic Places does not place restrictions on what can be done to the home. From www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalregister/faqs.htm "Under Federal Law, the listing of a property in the National Register places no restrictions on what a non-federal owner may do with their property up to and including destruction, unless the property is involved in a project that receives Federal assistance, usually funding or licensing/permitting."
