Kid Zone/Game Room: On the third and final floor, which is the finished attic, you will find a smart TV with a Wii system and games, fun seating, game tables, and a full bathroom. The attic is finished with A/C and Heat, but do note due to it being an older home, the temp does not always keep up with the other levels perfectly.
