The husband-and-wife acting powerhouse couple Tracy Letts and Carrie Coon recently listed their four-bedroom, 6,873-square-foot contemporary-style house in Bucktown for $3.99 million.
An actor, playwright and screenwriter and an alumnus of Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Letts, 56, won both a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award for his 2007 play, “August: Osage County.” Coon, 41, is a veteran of Chicago’s stage scene, and has appeared on TV and film as well. She most recently starred in the movie “Ghostbusters: Afterlife.”
Through an opaque land trust, Letts paid $3 million in 2009 for the modernist house in Bucktown, which sits on a triangular property. Built in 2003, the house has four full bathrooms, two half-bathrooms, two fireplaces, an attached three-car garage and has more than 100 feet of street frontage.
Via text message, Coon told Elite Street that, “Tracy and I are committed Chicagoans who are temporarily relocating to New York for work.”
The couple recently placed the Bucktown home on the market through the real estate agents’ private listing network. Listing agent Kristie Edwards declined to comment to Elite Street on the listing.
The house had a $39,070 property tax bill in the 2020 tax year.
