Winnetka Housing
Winnetka's housing stock was largely built between 1900 and 1940, and that pre-war DNA defines every renovation conversation here. Tudor Revival homes along Sheridan Road and Indian Hill carry steep-pitched rooflines, plaster walls, original steel casement windows, and compartmentalized floor plans that made sense in 1925 but feel constraining by today's standard of living. Georgian and Colonial Revival homes on Maple Street and Elder Lane present their own friction points: formal layouts divided into narrow rooms, outdated primary suites, and mechanicals that have been patched across multiple generations rather than replaced.
Bayern Builders has worked on this type of housing across the chicagoland neighborhoods. We know what to expect when the walls come down and how to navigate the permit process from submission through final inspection.

Sheridan Road corridor · 1900-1940
The most architecturally significant homes in Winnetka line Sheridan Road and the parallel streets east of Green Bay Road, built primarily in Tudor Revival, French Eclectic, and Georgian styles between 1900 and 1940. Renovation requests here center on primary suite expansions, chef's kitchen gut renovations with butler pantry integration, and whole-house systems modernization.
Indian Hill neighborhood · 1910-1945
The Indian Hill area, anchored by Green Bay Road and Winnetka Avenue near the Indian Hill Club, features a concentration of Colonial Revival and Georgian Revival homes built through the 1910s to 1940s, many on generous lots with mature tree canopies. The most common project type is interior transformation: opening closed-off formal layouts, converting dated galley kitchens into open-plan entertaining spaces, and upgrading primary baths.
Woodley Road · Forest Glen · 1920-1960
Western Winnetka's inland estate addresses, including Woodley Road and the Forest Glen enclave, feature large homes on lots of one acre or more, often with pools, carriage houses, and extensive outbuildings dating to the mid-20th century. These properties generate some of the most complex renovation scopes in the village, from lower-level entertainment complexes and wine cellars to detached garage rebuilds and home office buildouts.
