In Ann Arbor Hills, where streets wind beneath old trees and homes carry stories in their walls, a Tudor-style custom home built by Rochman Design Build is ready to share its own story—a home that feels less like a structure raised and more like a memory rediscovered: rooted, graceful, and alive with possibility.

Its gables rise with a kind of timeless confidence, brick and timber settling naturally into the neighborhood’s rhythm. Yet within those walls, something more personal unfolds. This is not simply a house to admire from the sidewalk. It is a home that invites people in—toward the table, toward one another, toward the simple joys of food and conversation shared.

The kitchen, warm and generous, is less a room than a gathering place. Counters wait for flour-dusted hands; light spills across the island where neighbors can lean with a glass of wine while dinner simmers. Beyond, the arched columns to dining room extend an invitation, not just for a meal, but for evenings that stretch long after the plates are cleared.

Every corner was imagined with connection in mind. Alcoves for quiet reading, windows that frame the changing seasons, fireplaces that gather stories along with warmth. Even the private spaces—bedrooms and retreats—carry the hush of calm, so the clamor of daily life feels softened, steadied.

For those who dream of a home built not only of materials but of meaning, this Tudor is a kind of promise. Rochman Design Build honors tradition while shaping spaces for modern living, ensuring that architecture serves not just beauty, but life.

And in Ann Arbor, a city where food and friendship have always gone hand in hand, this house beckons you with an invitation to host, to comfort, to celebrate. To remind us that at the heart of design is not structure, but connection.
