The Simpsons' House... lost room?

While watching The Simpsons, I was always wondering what's in the room behind the kitchen… which is almost never featured in the show:

… Turns out, there's been some creative use of this space throughout the series, but primarily this space is considered to be called the “Rumpus Room” of the house:

The rumpus room has only been seen in a few episodes. It is seen in “Three Men and a Comic Book”, “Separate Vocations”, and “Lady Bouvier's Lover”. The above diagram is consistent with those episodes. In “Radio Bart” it is seen, but looks different (no built in cabinets. In “The Canine Mutiny” Laddie flushs a toilet where the rumpus room would have been. Since the room hadn't been seen in a long time, it is possible it could have been remodeled as a bathroom, but most likely it was another example of artistic license. (Source)

Not sure why it isn't featured more often, but at this point, because the other spaces are so much more well known… maybe they just didn't need another? 🙃
