Did you know Elton John’s U.S. home base has long been Atlanta? While dating someone from the area in the ’90s, the singer fell in love with the city and picked up a condo at 2660 Peachtree Road NW. Over the years, he acquired five more apartments in the building and combined them to create a 13,332-square-foot mansion in the sky fit for a ‘Rocket Man.’ But, now that he has wrapped his last tour ever, the sleek pad where he always took refuge while touring is retiring, too. The palatial two-story spread is available to buy, priced at $4.995 million.
Whenever touring in the U.S., the global superstar flew back to his Atlanta home after every concert. And, who could blame him? There’s nothing like sleeping in your own bed.
The massive duplex holds four bedrooms, in fact, but the primary suite is certainly the crown jewel. It has plenty of room for relaxation and creativity with a sitting room, a spa-inspired bathroom dripping in onyx, and dreamy closets perfect for putting together showstopping outfits.
Other spaces that could seal the deal for buyers include a spa/massage room and a fitness studio. The double-height grand salon in the heart of the home is where one can entertain glamorously or simply stare out at the skyline views through the walls of windows. With immense space and white walls, it’s well-suited for use as a gallery as well. Elton John used the large residence to display his extensive photography collection, so an art lover may feel very at home here.
