Most Expensive Zip Codes: 60093, Estate of the Day
For the next couple of weeks we will be checking out some homes in the most expensive zip codes in the United States, up today, 60093 . This zip code refers to the town of Winnetka, Illinois. Winnetka is one of the North Shore of Chicago's older communities and is known as being one of the best places to raise a family in the area. This zip code has a median price of $1,790,000 with an appreciation rate of 207% since 1990. We've covered Winnetka as recently as last summer as an estate of the day.
Today's home has the type of wide green lawns and Tudor facade that make up many homes in Winnetka neighborhoods. The home is over 80 years old but has been through a major renovation. It has six bedrooms and new hardwood floors and windows. The wallpaper in the breakfast room is bit suspect but overall the new decor looks freshly sprung from the Pottery Barn catalog. The over one-acre property includes a pool and pool house. This home is listed at $4,490,000.

Finally a lived in mansion. My baby girl needs a play room like that one, and it already has baby gates in the family room. It's a small touch, but one that goes a long way with a family man like me. Also check out the Birds Eye View of this house on Local.Live. It is huge. Much bigger than the exterior photos make it out to be.

this house lacks character and the interiors are very flat. The lack of drapery really doesn't show well in this house. I'm sure another decorator could improve the house, but it doesn't really look like a 4 million dollar home.

Blah to the decorating. It is one of the first houses that looks lived in, which I find to be pretty funny. So why is it a bit of a turn off?
