Two-time Oscar winner, Tony award and Hollywood walk of fame receipient Sir Elton John has just listed his Atlanta condominium for sale at price tag of approximately USD5 Million. With over 50 number-one hits and seven number-one albums to his name including chart-toppers such as “Rocket Man”, “Crocodile Rock”, and “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”, John has recently completed the final tour of his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” series which was reportedly one of the highest-grossing concert series of all time. The legendary musician is now setting his sights on moving permanently to his England estate in Windsor.
The Atlanta apartment (on sale for sale at USD4,995,000) has been the singer’s home base in the United States over the last thirty years. In the 1990s, John originally purchased a duplex on the 36th floor of the luxurious Park Place high-rise tower in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood for USD925,000, before adding five neighboring units over the years to construct the now 13,300-square-foot, four-bed, seven-bath residence spanning two floors.
The meticulously designed estate features stunning wood walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and 360 degrees of city skyline and western canopy views. Each room has been carefully designed with intricate moldings, Greek-style columns, one-of-kind chandeliers and stunning glass-walled staircases. Balconies located on all sides of the home offer gorgeous views from sunrise to sunset.
The pièce de résistance is arguably the primary suite which includes a bedroom with blonde-hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling mirrors, an onyx-clad bathroom, a sumptuous seating area, and an expansive walk-in closet with its own balcony. The kitchen includes stainless-steel appliances and a breakfast bar with seating.
The grand two-storey salon on the other hand, boasts an impressive double-story dining room, a spacious living room with multiple gallery spaces that once housed John’s unique photography collection and provide ample space for entertaining in style. Additional features include an in-home fitness studio, a spa and massage room, alongside three spacious guest suites. Nine reserved parking spaces, six private storage units, and five dedicated wine storage units complete the home.
Listed with Chad Mizell of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty, the sprawling residence has panoramic views of Atlanta from nearly every room. The home is located on the “second wealthiest zip code in the South” and is home to many of Atlanta’s most successful CEOs, entrepreneurs, and the movers and shakers of the city’s burgeoning entertainment industry. With sprawling space, natural light flooding in from a double-height wall of windows along with multiple seating areas and gallery spaces, the home is built for entertaining in style.
