The Rittenhouse Model

Step inside

There's a moment in the Rittenhouse when the afternoon light moves across the main living spaces and the whole home seems to exhale. Stone-and-shutter character on the outside gives way to open, sun-filled rooms that flow into one another without a wasted step — gathering and retreating, hosting and unwinding, all in the same easy rhythm. It's a home that feels both rooted and alive: classic enough to never tire of, light enough to never feel heavy. You don't just walk through it — you settle into it.

The address you saw on Zillow isn't a community or a lot for sale — it's simply where the listing gets pinned. The Rittenhouse isn't tied to that spot at all. This plan can be built two ways: on a lot you already own, or on a property Paramount has identified across the DC metro. We're a builder that does its own homework — quietly evaluating hundreds of lots, teardowns, and aging homes throughout the region for potential acquisition. So whether you have a place in mind or you're still searching, there's more than one path to the front door. Tell us where you want to build.

Why choose the Rittenhouse

• Sun-filled, open living spaces designed around how your family actually moves through the day — gathering, hosting, and unwinding without a wasted step.
• Timeless stone-and-shutter French Country exterior that turns heads from the curb and never feels dated — the kind of character you grow into, not out of.
• A kitchen and gathering area that flow together for everyday meals and effortless entertaining alike, so the cook is never cut off from the conversation.
• Finishes tailored to your routines and your lot — from the materials underfoot to the fixtures you touch every morning, every choice is yours to shape.
• Designed and drawn by Paramount's in-house architects, so the layout can flex to fit your family, your site, and the way you live now.
