Ok than the 2 stove idea is almost definitely overkill.
An f400 could most likely heat that 1600Sq ft space if you can get the heat to the farther ends of the house.
An f500 can definitely heat that 1600 sq. ft. space, again if the heat can move to the farther ends of the house.
There should be some other stove options as well.
you can easily find make a decorative metal screen, panel, fireback or the like to block the view of the back of the stove if so desired.

I think it would be fine. Not my first choice as I think the full cast stove would radiate more heat out of the back.
A very small fan (8" floor fan) could easily push hot air from the stove thru the fireplace to the back room if needed with any choice of stove.
