Steep gables, white stucco, and black steel windows — modern farmhouse architecture with the kind of vertical drama and material confidence that doesn't look like anything else on the block. Build it as shown — or customize to fit your lot and your lifestyle.

The Plainview is built around contrast — white stucco against black steel, open living spaces divided by glass partitions instead of walls, navy cabinetry with brass hardware anchoring a kitchen that was designed to stand apart from the room, not blend in. Steel-and-glass pivot doors let you see through the house without losing the sense that each space has its own purpose. It's a home where the materials do the talking and every room is flooded with natural light from oversized black-framed windows.

This plan isn't tied to the address you saw on Zillow — that's just where the listing is anchored. The Plainview can be built on your lot or on a property Paramount has identified for potential acquisition, anywhere across the DC metro. Paramount evaluates hundreds of lots, teardowns, and aging homes across the DC metro for potential acquisition — and our in-house architects handle the site-specific modifications.

Why the Plainview
  • White stucco exterior with steep gable rooflines gives the Plainview a sculptural street presence that ages beautifully with zero painting or staining
  • Steel-and-glass interior partitions and pivot doors define spaces without walls — the house stays open and light-filled from front to back
  • First-floor bedroom suite for aging parents, guests, or a private home office that closes off from the main living space entirely
  • Navy cabinetry with brass hardware anchors a kitchen built for hosting — designed to contrast the white interiors, not disappear into them
  • Mudroom between the garage and the living space keeps backpacks, cleats, and wet coats from ever reaching the kitchen

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.
