What's Included at Lotis Wellington, and the Lennar Warranty Explained

Every home at The Estates at Lotis Wellington comes with the same base package of included features, regardless of which of the seven floor plans you choose. Here's exactly what that means, and what backs it up.

Everything's Included — Lennar's approach

Lennar markets its standard feature package under the name Everything's Included. The idea is straightforward: rather than advertising a lower base price and then charging extra for countertops, appliances, and hurricane-rated glass, those features are simply part of every home from the start. It's worth understanding this approach specifically because it changes how you should compare Lotis Wellington's price against a builder advertising a lower starting number elsewhere — that lower number may not include what Lotis Wellington already builds in.

What's actually included

Every home at Lotis Wellington comes standard with:

• 3cm quartz countertops in the kitchen

• Impact-rated windows and sliding glass doors throughout

• A tile roof

• Stainless steel kitchen appliances

• 42-inch upper kitchen cabinets

• A brick paver driveway, walkway, and terrace

None of these require an upgrade fee or a trip to the design center to add. They're part of the base home on every one of the seven floor plans, from the smallest townhome to the largest single-family plan.

Why impact-rated glass matters in Florida specifically

Impact-rated windows and sliding glass doors are a real, practical feature in this part of Florida, not just a marketing line. They're built to withstand wind-borne debris during a storm without needing separate hurricane shutters put up and taken down each time a storm approaches. Having this built into every home from the start — rather than as a costly retrofit on an older resale home — is one of the more meaningful practical advantages new construction offers here.

The warranty structure: 1-2-10

Every home at Lotis Wellington carries Lennar's standard 1-2-10 Limited Warranty, structured in three tiers:

• Year one: coverage on workmanship and materials — issues with fit, finish, and construction quality

• Years one and two: coverage on major systems, including plumbing and electrical

• Years one through ten: structural coverage on the home's load-bearing elements

The warranty is a written document, not a verbal assurance, and the clock starts on your closing date. This is a meaningful difference from buying resale, where you're typically purchasing a home "as-is" with no warranty coverage from anyone.

What the warranty does and doesn't cover

Structural coverage under the 10-year tier applies to major load-bearing components of the home — the kind of defect that would compromise the home's structural integrity. It's not a catch-all maintenance plan for routine wear and tear, which is worth understanding clearly before you assume every possible issue over ten years is covered. For anything outside the warranty's specific scope, or for questions about a specific situation, the builder's warranty department is the right point of contact — ask for those details directly when you're under contract.

How the included features and the warranty work together

The combination of included features and warranty coverage is really the whole value proposition of new construction over resale in one sentence: you're getting quartz countertops, impact glass, a new tile roof, and new appliances, all under a builder's warranty from day one — rather than inheriting whatever condition a previous owner's roof, appliances, and windows happen to be in with no warranty backing any of it.

Comparing this against a resale home

If you're weighing Lotis Wellington against a resale listing, it's worth actually pricing out what it would cost to bring an older home's kitchen, windows, and roof up to the same standard Lotis Wellington already builds in. Quartz countertop replacement, impact window retrofits, and a full roof replacement each run into real money on their own — often enough combined to meaningfully close the gap between a resale home's lower sticker price and new construction's higher one.

Does this vary by floor plan?

1. Whether you're looking at the compact Ivy townhome or the largest Sorrento single-family plan, the included features and warranty structure are identical. Compare all 7 floor plans to see how the plans differ in size and layout — the base feature package and warranty stay constant across every one of them.

Where this fits in your buying decision

If you're new to buying new construction generally, our full buyer's guide to new construction in Wellington walks through the whole process, not just the features and warranty. And if you're still deciding between a single-family home and a townhome, see how that decision plays out — the included features and warranty are the same regardless of which side you land on, so it shouldn't be the deciding factor either way. If you're specifically comparing the two townhome plans, see the Ivy vs. Ember breakdown for how they differ beyond the standard features covered here.

What to ask about when you visit

When you tour Lotis Wellington, it's worth confirming a few things directly with the sales team rather than assuming: whether the specific homesite you're considering has already been finished with the standard package or whether any options were added, what the current design center choices are if you're buying early enough to select them, and what the process looks like if something needs warranty attention after you move in. None of that information changes the base package described here, but getting the specifics confirmed in writing before you close is simply good practice on any new construction purchase.

A word on inspections, even with a warranty

Having a builder's warranty doesn't mean skipping a professional home inspection is a good idea. A pre-closing walkthrough with a qualified inspector can catch things worth flagging before you close, even on a brand-new home — and having that documentation on file makes any future warranty claim, however unlikely, much more straightforward to resolve. This is standard advice for any new construction purchase, not a Lotis Wellington-specific concern, but it's worth repeating because plenty of buyers assume a warranty makes an inspection unnecessary.

The bigger picture: why this matters more than it sounds

It's easy to read a features list and warranty summary and think of it as boilerplate, but this is genuinely the core of what you're paying for with new construction versus resale. A resale home's price reflects whatever condition its current roof, countertops, and appliances happen to be in, with no warranty behind any of it. A new construction price already reflects all of that new, under coverage, from day one. That difference compounds over the years you own the home, well beyond the closing table.

One last thing worth remembering

The included features and warranty are the foundation every other page on this site builds from — the floor plans, the comparisons, and the lifestyle content all assume this same baseline. Understanding it well makes every other decision about Lotis Wellington easier to evaluate.
