Repeating gables, a covered front porch, and three finished levels that live the way your family actually works — not the way homes looked twenty years ago. Build it as shown — or customize to fit your lot and your lifestyle.

The back of the Taylor is one connected space — kitchen, nook, and family room on a single axis with a patio right off the back. It's the kind of layout where dinner, homework, and conversation happen in the same room without anyone being on top of each other. The lower level isn't a basement — it's a full living floor with a walkout, a bedroom with its own bath, and enough separation that a whole generation of your family can live there comfortably.

This plan isn't tied to the address you saw on Zillow — that's just where the listing is anchored. The Taylor 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. Tell us where you want to build.

Why the Taylor
  • Study off the foyer — an office when you need it, invisible when you don't
  • Laundry on the bedroom level so you stop carrying baskets between floors
  • Lower level fifth bedroom with its own bath — au pair, college kid, or guests who stay without being in your way
  • Rec room and media room on the lower level with patio walkout — the floor your teenagers never leave
  • Kitchen and bath cabinetry designed by our architects and built by a local craftsman — nothing ordered, everything made

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.
