Elton John's 13,000-sq-ft Atlanta condo made from 6 units sells for $7.2M

Sir Elton John's luxurious 13,000-square-foot Atlanta condominium, originally constructed from six separate units, has been sold for an impressive $7.225 million. This price is significantly higher than its original asking price of $4.995 million and marks the highest sale in the property's history. The 13,332-square-foot residence is situated on the 36th floor of the prestigious Park Place tower in Atlanta's upscale Buckhead district.

The sale of the opulent property came about after John finished his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which marked the end of his North American touring days. The listing agent, Chase Mizell from Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty, revealed that the home was strategically priced below its market value to generate interest and attract potential buyers. The buyer, a local resident, paid for the entire property in cash, with negotiations handled by real estate agent Betsy Akers.

John first purchased the Buckhead high-rise in 1992 for $925,000, acquiring a two-story duplex that measured approximately 2,500 square feet. Over the subsequent three decades, he systematically bought five additional neighboring apartments on the 36th floor as they became available, eventually transforming the property into a sprawling 13,332-square-foot sky palace. The separate units were connected through extensive structural renovations, resulting in expansive galleries, high ceilings, and bespoke living spaces.

The interior of the residence was meticulously designed to showcase John's extensive collection of fine art and photography. A striking two-story formal dining room stands at the heart of the home, flanked by upper-level gallery walkways. The main bedroom suite features floor-to-ceiling mirrors, light-colored hardwood flooring, and an onyx-lined bathroom.

The main dressing area boasts a custom walk-in wardrobe and its own private balcony. Additional amenities within the home include a private gym, a separate massage room, an in-home spa, and wide windows offering panoramic views of the Midtown, Downtown, and Buckhead skylines.
