What do Americans call attics?

Americans call attics attics, which is standard American English term for space under roof used for storage or living, but they also use several other terms depending on type and use. Common American terms include attic, storage attic, finished attic, bonus room when converted to living space, and crawl space attic if unfinished and low height. In American real estate, walk-up attic, walk-in attic, or floored attic are used to describe attics you can walk in. For converted living space, Americans say attic bedroom, attic loft, or attic conversion. In some regions, especially Northeast, garret is used historically. Americans also say loft in some contexts, though loft more often means converted industrial space. For access, Americans say scuttle attic if accessed by small hatch, or pull-down attic if accessed by ladder. So while attic is standard term, Americans have many descriptive variations like finished attic, unfinished attic, storage attic, and bonus room to specify use and condition of attic space.
