The Kenbar Model
▼ Scroll to see floor plans, gallery & specs
The Kenbar puts the kitchen, great room, and outdoor space on one axis — so you're never closed off from the action. The oversized island seats six, the ceilings run high, and natural light fills every corner. It feels bigger than its square footage because nothing is wasted.
You saw this plan on one lot at one price. But the Kenbar can go on any lot in Arlington, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Falls Church, McLean, Potomac, Vienna, or NW DC — and the price changes with every lot. Tell us where you want to build and we'll show you what it costs there.

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:
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.
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.
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.
