Is it a finished basement or a furnished basement? [closed]

When one buys a house with a fully done basement, is it known as a furnished basement or a finished basement? I’ve heard both used, but I was always under the impression that the right usage is a furnished basement. I thought, being that the words sound similar, the two terms became confused and eventually interchangeable, but perhaps both are correct. Regardless, any logical, coherent answer to this question would be appreciated!

Solution 1:

Both expressions are used, they just refer to different contexts:

Finished basement:

a basement that has floors, ceilings, and walls like the rooms in the main part of the house. (M-W)

Furnished basement:

A basement equipped with furniture so that you can comfortably live in it.

Please compare with a partially finished basement:

Solution 2:

A finished basement is one that has proper stud walls and plaster ceilings, possibly also plumbing etc...

A furnished basement should be just that furnished; having a full suite of furniture that defines the space as a functional lounge, workshop, bedroom or what have you.
