A turnkey home is a property that its new owner can move into without major repairs, renovations, or immediate updates. It should be clean, well-maintained, and fully usable, with no unfinished work demanding attention.
In some markets, especially those with vacation or second homes, “turnkey” may also describe a property offered with furnishings or household items. However, furniture and personal property are not automatically included. Buyers and sellers should confirm exactly what will remain with the home.

Even for those of us who have that crazy uncle who wants to talk politics or the aunt who burned the green bean casserole, those memories are part of what makes the day special. What binds our Thanksgivings together is the moment when everyone comes together around the dining room table to give thanks (and overindulge!)
