Are you certain it is unfinished, or is it just uncoated? An oil finish will not show a coating on top of the floor like urethane will. Very few floors are left unfinished as raw wood reacts quite a bit to the moisture content in the air, which leads to cracking and splintering.

Hmmm I can't say but I do know the owner referred to it as unfinished. I can tell you that we had an air conditioner leak on to the floor last week and it made the wood dry and warped. Would that indicate that it was unfinished?

Scott, If you left it unfinished you could at least try it out. Then if you didn't like it you could take your chances with some kind of coating.
