The Pelham blurs the line between timeless and now — clean lines softened with warmth, designed around the way you actually live. It's not a house you settle into; it's a home shaped to fit your life from the ground up. Build it as shown — or customize to fit your lifestyle.

Step inside the Pelham and the first thing you notice is the light — it moves through the open living spaces all day, shifting from morning brightness in the kitchen to a warm afternoon glow across the great room. The transitional design keeps everything feeling clean and current without ever feeling cold, so the home reads as effortless rather than styled. This is a space that breathes with you: open enough for a houseful of people, calm enough for a quiet Sunday alone. You don't decorate around the architecture here — the architecture works for you.

Here's what most people don't realize: the Pelham isn't tied to the address you saw on Zillow. That's simply where the listing is anchored — this plan can be built across the DC metro, on your own lot or on a property Paramount has identified. That's the part worth knowing. Paramount evaluates hundreds of properties across the region for potential acquisition — lots, teardowns, and aging homes — quietly, as part of how we work. So you have two paths: bring us your lot, or let us build the Pelham on a property we've already identified. Tell us where you want to build.

Why the Pelham
  • A first-floor suite that flexes for visiting guests, aging parents, or a private home office that's actually private
  • An open kitchen-to-great-room flow that lets you cook, host, and keep an eye on the kids without ever leaving the conversation
  • Light-filled living spaces designed to feel bright at breakfast and warm at dusk — no room left dark or forgotten
  • Transitional finishes you select yourself, so the home reflects your taste instead of a builder's default palette
  • A layout planned around your daily routines — drop zones, storage, and gathering spaces where you actually need them, not where a template put them

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.
