フリールーム

noun

storage room; nonhabitable room; non-conforming bedroom

Wasei-eigo from 'free room'. In Japanese real estate, refers to a room that cannot legally be used as a bedroom (e.g., no window, insufficient size) and is often used for storage. Compare サービスルーム, which is a similar concept but may be counted as a service area rather than a room.
