Depends on the area. In lots of places, they call it 'furnished' if it
has a fridge and stove. 'Fully furnished' is used it it has a bed and
dresser etc. Has to do with local laws and patterns I expect.

Oh and in some, 'unfurnished' specifically means no stove or fridge and
may also mean no hot water heater believe it or not. Overseas, that
can also mean no kitchen cabinets our countertops. Just hookups for a
sink and such.
