those are textbook examples of the "chicago bungalow". it's possible that the word is defined differently in london, but that has no bearing on how the word is used in chicago. the windows you're seeing on the second floor are simply attic windows. in many chicago bungalows the attic has been converted into additional living space. just about all chicago bungalows also have full basements as well, which gives a family even more options for additonal living space as it grows. so with attic and basement buildouts, a two bedroom bungalow, can easily become a 4 or even 5 bedroom bungalow.
