The couple first tried to privately sell the home in March 2022 for just under $4 million, but it wasn’t until after publicly listing the residence and dropping its price significantly when they finally sold the property for $3.1 million in February 2023.
New York City living
By 2017, Coon and Letts were spending about a third of their time in Chicago, a third in New York, and a third wherever else their work took them. During that time, their New York base was an apartment in a TriBeCa high-rise, per a 2018 interview with Chicago Magazine. The couple’s firstborn child, Haskell, was four months old at the time, and Coon expressed a desire to raise him in the country, the same way that she grew up. “That was a big part of my life,” she told the outlet. “I can’t imagine kicking him out of this doorman building here in TriBeCa and saying, ‘Go play.’ It just seems ludicrous. And I see kids who grow up in New York, and they just seem so old. I was protected from that.” It’s unclear if the Fargo actor still has this residence.
Following the sale of their Chicago property, the Nest star and her husband resided in a Brooklyn brownstone, which they reportedly still maintained as of a year ago. “Today, my wife, actress Carrie Coon, and I live with our two children in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn,” Letts told the Wall Street Journal in 2022. “We have a great old brownstone a block from Prospect Park that we rented when we commuted from Chicago. Now we’re New Yorkers.”
A country house upstate
In November 2021, Coon realized her dream of raising their kids in the countryside when she and Letts bought a $2.7 million stone and shingle Colonial-style home in Bedford, New York. “We loved that the two-story house built in 2003 was weirder than others we saw. It has a hobbit portico and moons in the shutters,” Coon told the Wall Street Journal last September. “There’s also a beautiful breakfast nook. We love our pancakes.” The charming 7,000-square-foot abode rests on a densely wooded three-acre lot that also hosts gardens, numerous decks and patios (one of which has a built-in barbecue grill), and a swimming pool with an attached spa. The wooded location was certainly a draw for Coon, who told the WSJ that she loves “being surrounded by trees.” The actor continued, “I also love it for my children, who like to run around and explore. My body relaxes when I’m here.”
Some of the amenities found inside the four-bedroom, seven-bathroom home include a fireplace-warmed living room, two offices, a formal dining room, a wood-paneled butler’s pantry, a country-style kitchen with beamed ceilings, a gym, a primary suite equipped with generously sized walk-in closets, and of course, Coon’s beloved breakfast nook, which is actually a full-size room lined with windows facing the forest. Hardwood floors, crown molding, and wainscoting are found throughout. “It’s a weird country escape,” Coon told the Los Angeles Times. “My kids are growing up naked outside all summer.”
