Light is the first thing you notice in the Sandstone — it moves through the open living spaces all day, warming the rooms in the morning and softening them by evening. The transitional architecture feels grounded without ever feeling stiff, structured without ever feeling cold. This is a home that lets you exhale: slow coffee, easy gatherings, a sense of calm that follows you from room to room. It doesn't just look good in photos — it lives well in the everyday.

Here's something most visitors don't realize: the Sandstone isn't a house in a development, and it isn't tied to the address you saw on Zillow — that's simply where the listing was anchored. This plan can be built on your own lot, or on a property we've identified across the DC metro. Paramount evaluates hundreds of lots, teardowns, and aging homes throughout the region for potential acquisition — quiet, ongoing research that's part of how we work. So you have two paths: bring us your lot, or let us know the kind of place you're picturing. Tell us where you want to build.

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.

Not ready to wait? Browse our homes that are already complete or under construction.
