Elton John might've already said goodbye to that yellow brick road, but this week, he's parting ways with his condo in the clouds. The Rocketman just put his palatial, two-story residence on the market to the tune of nearly $5 million. Nestled in Park Place, a 40-story condominium in the heart of Atlanta, the 13,332-square-foot unit boasts 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 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."
