Kitchen Remodeling in Winnetka
The servant staircases and closed floor plans common in East Winnetka homes often conflict with modern cooking habits. Moving a wall or reconfiguring the flow turns these legacy layouts into functional spaces.

Preserving Architectural Character While Updating Function
Many Georgian and Tudor homes in Hubbard Woods and Indian Hill feature original millwork that requires careful handling during any kitchen renovation. We focus on integrating modern appliance upgrades and custom kitchen cabinets without losing the historic proportions of the room. Removing a wall for an open concept kitchen requires structural precision to protect the integrity of these older estates.
Winnetka
Winnetka kitchens demand an approach that treats original architectural assets as foundations rather than obstacles. We balance the need for a modern kitchen island or expanded storage with the existing character of your specific home.
Project Investment
Given the median home value of $1.5M to $5M in Winnetka, a high-quality kitchen remodel represents a practical investment that maintains the standard of your property.
Local Insight
Older Winnetka homes often have inconsistent framing or lath and plaster walls that hide mechanical challenges. We open these walls during the early stages of a kitchen renovation to verify plumbing and electrical conditions before finalizing your cabinet layout.

Winnetka Transitional Kitchen & Bathroom Remodel
This comprehensive kitchen renovation in Winnetka, IL, updates a spacious layout with transitional design elements and premium finishes. The design centers around custom, soft-toned inset cabinetry paired with brushed brass hardware. A striking, heavily veined natural stone was utilized for both the countertops and the full-height perimeter backsplash, creating a seamless and cohesive focal point. Cooking Zone: Features a professional-grade stainless steel Wolf range situated beneath a custom, color-matched wood ventilation hood. Center Island: A large, multi-functional island offers generous prep space with a thick stone countertop profile, an integrated prep sink with a brass gooseneck fixture, and under-counter seating for four. Beverage Center: A dedicated built-in station includes an under-counter wine and beverage cooler, flanked by floor-to-ceiling pantry storage and topped with illuminated, glass-front display cabinets. Plumbing & Fixtures: Dual sink stations enhance workflow, including an under-mount main sink positioned below a custom Roman shade window, both equipped with matching brass hardware. Lighting & Flooring: The space is illuminated by a combination of recessed ceiling lights, under-cabinet lighting, and a statement crystal chandelier. Rich, dark hardwood flooring provides a grounding contrast to the lighter stone and cabinetry.
