Step inside the Nevis and the first thing you notice is the light. Windows are placed with intention, pulling warmth deep into living spaces that feel open without ever feeling cavernous — the kind of rooms that flatter a quiet morning coffee and a houseful of guests in equal measure. There's an ease to how the spaces flow into one another, a sense that the home was shaped around the rhythm of real life rather than a showroom. This isn't a floor plan you adapt to. It's a home that adapts to you.

The address you saw on Zillow isn't a community or a development — it's simply where the listing was anchored. The Nevis isn't tied to any single lot. You can build it on land you already own, or on a property Paramount has identified across the DC metro. Paramount evaluates hundreds of lots, teardowns, and aging homes throughout the region for potential acquisition — quiet groundwork most buyers never see. You're not buying someone else's house. You're building yours. Tell us where you want to build.

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.
