French Country

Style

The Cleveland wears its French Country soul quietly — steep rooflines, warm proportions, and light-filled rooms that feel like they were always meant to be here. This isn't a house you tour and settle for. It's a home shaped around the way you actually live. Build it as shown — or customize to fit your lot and your lifestyle.

Step inside the Cleveland and the first thing you notice is the light — it pours through rooms designed around real mornings and real evenings, not a staged brochure. The proportions feel generous without feeling grand, the kind of space where a quiet coffee and a houseful of guests both feel exactly right. Nothing here is borrowed from someone else's taste. You're not buying someone else's house — you're building yours, down to the finishes that match your lot and your routines.

The address you saw on Zillow isn't a community or a finished home waiting on you — it's just where the listing was anchored. The Cleveland can be built on your own lot, or on a property Paramount has identified across the DC metro. We're a builder that does its own acquisitions research, quietly evaluating hundreds of lots, teardowns, and aging homes throughout the region for potential acquisition. So you have two paths: bring us your land, or let's talk about where you've always wanted to be. Tell us where you want to build.

Why the Cleveland

Steep French Country rooflines and warm proportions that give the home timeless curb appeal — character that stands apart from the builder-grade houses next door.
Light-filled living spaces designed around real daily rhythms — unhurried mornings in the kitchen, easy evenings that flow from gathering to quiet.
Finishes tailored to your lot and your routines, so the home works the way you actually live instead of forcing you to adapt to it.
An in-house architectural and design team that can build the Cleveland as shown, adjust the layout to fit your site, or take it fully custom.
Built from the ground up on your land or a property we've identified across Bethesda, Chevy Chase, McLean, Arlington, Potomac, Vienna, and NW Washington DC — a home rooted exactly where you want to live.

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.
