Step inside the Cordova and the first thing you notice isn't a finish or a fixture — it's the light. Open living spaces flow into one another and follow the sun across the day, so the home you wake up in feels different from the one you come home to at night. Nothing here forces you into a routine the floor plan decided for you. Instead, the spaces bend around how you actually live — your slow mornings, your loud dinners, your quiet evenings. It's the kind of home that feels right before you can explain why.

Here's something the Zillow listing can't tell you: the Cordova isn't tied to that address. That's simply where the listing was anchored — this plan can be built almost anywhere across the DC metro. You have two paths forward: build the Cordova on your own lot, or build it on a property Paramount has identified. We're a builder that does its own homework — Paramount evaluates hundreds of properties across the DC metro for potential acquisition, from lots to teardowns to aging homes. You're not buying someone else's house. You're building yours. Tell us where you want to build.

Why the Cordova
  • Light-filled open living spaces that change character through the day — bright and energizing in the morning, warm and grounded by evening.
  • Transitional design that won't feel dated in ten years — clean lines and timeless proportions that age gracefully alongside your family.
  • A layout that flows around real life, so hosting a dinner, helping with homework, and unwinding at night all happen without anyone feeling crowded or cut off.
  • Finishes selected for your lot and your routines — not pulled from a developer's standard package, but chosen to fit the way you actually use each room.
  • Designed by Paramount's in-house architects, so the home can be built as shown, adjusted to your site, or reimagined from the studs up to match your vision.

Your Investment

How New Home Pricing Works

This price is based on our Protos Specifications and includes an estimated land allowance. Your actual investment depends on the lot — yours or one we've identified — along with site conditions, home size, and finishes.

Build it exactly as shown or change every detail — the strategy call is where we put real numbers together based on your priorities.

Here's how the process works. It's three distinct phases, each with a purpose:

Phase 1

Design & Selections

This is where your home takes shape. Plans are created or modified by our in-house architects. You choose finishes, fixtures, and layout — or let our design team handle it for you.

Phase 2

Permitting

We submit your plans and manage the approval process with your local jurisdiction. This phase runs in the background while final details are locked in.

Phase 3

Construction

Your home is built. Every decision has already been made, and the build moves with purpose. Most homes are completed within 15 to 18 months from lot selection to move-in, though timelines can vary based on design complexity, client selections and decision-making, and local permitting.

Whether you want to choose every tile and finish yourself or let Paramount's design team handle the selections for you, we match the process to how you want to build.
