Elton John's Prized Atlanta Condo Sells for 45% Above the Asking Price
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Elton John might've already said goodbye to that yellow brick road, but this week, he has officially parted ways with his condo in the clouds. After nearly a little over a month on the market, the Rocketman's two-story residence just sold for $7.225 million. (Though it was initially listed for $5 million, which means it was purchased for 45 percent over asking.) Nestled in Park Place, a 40-story condominium in the heart of Atlanta, the 13,332-square-foot unit boast a handful of star-studded perks like an in-home fitness studio, a spa and massage room, and ample room to store your wine collection.
Though the "Tiny Dancer" singer might be known for his chart-topping hits and maximalist accessories—hello, feather boas and oversized glasses—his taste in real-estate oozes timeless luxury. (Onyx-clad bathrooms? Floor-to-ceiling windows? Interiors designed by John's frequent collaborators, Fred Dilger and Stan Topol? Check. Check. Check.)
Admittedly, Atlanta seems like an unexpected place for the pop culture icon to put down some roots, but it turns out he's been linked to the Big Peach for a long, long time. In fact, John reportedly bought t a 2,500-square-foot condominium in Park Place back in 1992—then added five more units to create his sprawling space. And he seemed to like Atlanta because it was an unexpected place to find the over-the-top entertainer. "The only people I knew were real people, who had normal jobs," the artist told The Wall Street Journal. “The city adopted me and I adopted it." Read on for an intimate look at his rockin' residence.

With a neutral palette, coffered ceilings, and a mélange of tactile textiles, the "Cold Hearts" singer's living room is the epitome of quiet luxury.
Home Office

Closet
Since the "Bennie and the Jets" singer is a style icon, it's only fitting that he has a huge wardrobe to store all of his best outfits. Now if only we can find those electric boots and the mohair suit...
Shoe Closet
In case you're still standing after seeing John's impressive wardrobe, just wait until you check out his shoe closet.
Bedroom
John's palatial pad boasts four bedrooms–including this romantic oasis that features sun-drenched windows and a private terrace. Alexa, play "Can You Feel the Love Tonight."
