On opposite side I have 3 double cabinets. With overhang of quartz counter to accommodate 4-6 chairs or stools.
Our Lilly with pony, we have dishwasher, double cabinet under sink, 2 drawers, cabinet under drawers.
So if we rip out the pony put in a single level Island, I will gain the same cabinets as our current house. The island will move closer to back cabinets by 3.6 feet, ( the curve in the pony takes up a lot of space) giving more space in the living room. Of course doing this floor tile will have to be ripped out, because there may or may not be tile under the pony and probably won’t match.
I see someone else posted they are doing the same thing at their northern home, to gain more space and cabinets
Go look at the new models with island in your model

A pony is a half wall added to any shape island. It does not have to be curved. It can also be any height, or mixed heights. And, yes. If you remodel and remove the pony from your island, you will have more space because you removed a half wall attached to your counter. As a side note, a pony can be made with cabinets if you prefer more storage.
The Warbler floor plan is listed as a premier home and a designer home on the Villages website. I would imagine the premier Warbler is going to have a more substantial elevation making it much more stately-looking on the outside. Perhaps, larger lanai and garage. But, that is just my guess. The video I watched on the Enclave stated it was going to be a mix of premier and designer homes. So, no changes to the Warbler is also possible.
