If you go to google, and click on Images, type in "buhardilla", and you'll see lots of pictures of buhardillas that have been converted into living space, like bedrooms and such.

agree Patricia Rosas : "buhardilla" is in a ProZ glossary as "attic" and it seems that they are talking about a space under the roof but not the roof itself

Una buhardilla es un ático, sin duda la casa tiene uno de esos techos en pico muy pronunciados, en donde hay espacio para convertirlo en otro piso, con esas ventanas que sobresalen. Gracias Patricia - teju :)
agree Sol : good choice, better than just "attic"

Estoy de acuerdo, es que dice "zona abuhardillada", que literalmente quiere decir "attic space". Gracias Sol - teju :)

the skylighted attic was converted to a third floor

it's a windos that juts out from the roof, so I guess it must be an attic space....

According to my dictionary..Buhardilla: Ventana que sobresale en el tejado de una casa, para dar luz a los desvanes. Habitacion dispuesta en el desván de una casa.
From the wording of the original I'm inclined to think that the first definition fits better and that it has a window of some kind.
