Absolutely not. They're built into the house. Cabinets are literally constructed around them to fit seamlessly.

I know it's common in certain other countries to take your appliances with you, even for rentals. It makes moving so much harder, I've never understood it.

To me, a home not coming with a refrigerator or washing machine makes as much sense as it not coming with a toilet or shower.



those cabinets are all built to standard dimensions though

your "builtin" fridge isn't really builtin, it just has cabinetry (plywood + veneer) on both side and the top in a standard dimension...its not like the home was built around the fridge

in most homes even the "builtin" cabinetry work is cheap garbage that can be replaced trivially, particularly in the case of white-finish just in most homes now

Only true in houses with high-end finishes.
