| Oct 28, 2015 at 19:57 | comment | added | recognizer | In my experience with American English, I think most people would colloquially understand "under the eaves" to mean any place underneath the sloping ceiling of the top floor of a building with a sloped roof, regardless of proximity to the outside wall. | |

| Oct 28, 2015 at 11:52 | comment | added | AndyT | +1... but only because you specifically call out that the "historical" (or, as I would have worded it, "technical") definition of eaves is the external parts, but is taken by many to include internal parts. [At a guess, the downvoter may be a technical purist and dislike this usage of "eaves".] | |
