The Harwood is contemporary architecture with intention — clean lines, open light, and a main level designed to live large. A modern home that breathes, shaped around the way you actually live. Build it as shown — or customize to fit your lot and your lifestyle.

Step into the Harwood and the day comes with you. The main level opens wide and flows from gathering to quiet without a wall in the way, daylight pouring across clean lines and uninterrupted space. It's the kind of home where a quiet morning and a houseful of people both feel right — open enough to breathe, intentional enough to feel finished. This isn't a layout you adjust your life around. It's a home built around the way you already live.

That address you saw on Zillow? It's just where the listing is anchored — the Harwood isn't tied to it, and it isn't a plan in someone else's development. This is a home Paramount builds from the ground up, and you have two ways to do it: build it on your own lot, or build it on a property we've identified. Paramount evaluates hundreds of properties across the DC metro for potential acquisition — lots, teardowns, and aging homes — as part of our own ongoing research. You're not buying someone else's house. You're building yours. Tell us where you want to build.

Why the Harwood
  • An open main level that flows from kitchen to living to dining — perfect for entertaining a crowd or keeping an eye on homework from the stove.
  • Floor-to-ceiling light throughout the day, so the home feels bright at breakfast and warm at dinner without flipping a switch.
  • Flexible spaces that adapt to your rhythm — a home office today, a playroom next year, a guest retreat down the road.
  • Finishes chosen by you, from cabinetry to fixtures, so the contemporary lines feel like your taste, not a builder's default.
  • Contemporary architecture that stands apart on any lot in your neighborhood — modern, intentional, and unmistakably yours.

Your Investment

How New Home Pricing Works

The price you see 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.
