Answer:
Appurtenance refers to something that accompanies or is an accessory to another item. In real estate, it often includes additional property like outbuildings or fixtures that transfer with the main property. Examples of appurtenances can be a barn, garden, or orchard. It can also represent rights or privileges associated with the land, such as easements.
Generally, a washing machine is considered a personal property item rather than a fixture or appurtenance, as it is not permanently attached to the property. Therefore, it typically does not transfer with the real estate unless specified in the sale agreement.
