ATLANTA — The longtime Atlanta home of Elton John, where he set up shop back in 1991 and for a time became one of the city's most beloved local faces, is now on the market.
Luxury realtor Chase Mizell posted that the condo at the Park Place on Peachtree building, at 2660 Peachtree Road in Buckhead, is being listed for nearly $5 million.
Buckhead.com reported earlier this month that a quiet moving-out process had been going on at the condo for nearly a month.
John arrived in Atlanta and quickly came to consider the city a second "hometown." It was a place where he settled into a quieter life following his hard-charging younger years, living off-and-on in Buckhead for more than three decades.
"I like that Southern hospitality. Everyone is incredibly courteous and friendly,” he said in a 1993 Architectural Digest article.
Of the home, he said back then: "“The apartment is unbelievable — it’s beyond my wildest dreams.”
