Elton John | House Tour | $30 Million Beverly Hills Mansion & More

Elton John is a legend in the music industry, and he also has the property portfolio to show for it. While his two-property compound in Beverly Hills is the main residence he shares with his husband, David Furnish, his real estate includes homes spread halfway around the world. The couple owns estates in the UK, the south of France, and even Italy. While back in the US, they have a huge luxury condo in Atlanta, Georgia too. Also, Michael and I have dropped our own house tour of our new home that we moved into this up to. In these videos we don't reveal any addresses, and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Elton John is a songwriter, pianist, composer, and more who hails from the UK. He began playing piano at a very early age, and started collaborating with lyricist Bernie Taupin in 1967, making more than 30 albums over the years. Elton has sold over 300 million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time, and he's been topping the charts since his debut in the 60s, which he still does to this day. His unique stage presence, style, and unmistakable sounds are just some of the things that set him apart as his own brand of rockstar. Hey guys, it's Kara the Vampire Slayer back with another exclusive house tour here on Famous Entertainment, in this one checking out the homes of Elton John. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit me up on Instagram to chat, and now let's get into this video. Elton John and his husband David have a main residence located in Beverly Hills, which they purchased in 2012, and the decoration here is just about as Elton John-esque as they come, boasting a ton of vibrant colours too. The contemporary home was built in 1966 and recently redone before purchase, located in the trendy and uber expensive community of Truesdale Estates in Beverly Hills. While the property was listed at over $7.6 million, it was reported that Elton snagged the single level house for $7.3 million, and it offers over 4,200 square feet with 4 beds and 5.5 baths. The home offers old school architecture and a modern vibe with pops of colour, was the open floor plan with a spacious living and dining area, which they love to entertain, and this spot is perfect for that. The home is walled, gated, and additionally offers a staff bedroom with bathroom, as well as a separate pool cabana with gym area and another bathroom. Also out on the grounds, there's a pool and spa next to a classy terrace decked out in white lounge furniture. Inside the home has a one of a kind flair with different patterned wallpapers in many of the rooms, while others are painted a fresh and crisp white. White oak floors and long gallery walls run through the main living areas, where there's a formal living room with fireplace, a dining room, and a family room with wall-mounted TV. This space connects to the breakfast room and the all-white, top-of-the-line center island kitchen. There are also plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows and sliders in the rear of the home which offer amazing city views and access to the patio. One of the coolest parts of Elton's Truesdale Estates home has gotta be his art collection displayed throughout. His art seems to have been a priority when designing each of the rooms. For instance, the David LaChapelle snaps in the living room complementing the zebra rug and pink coffee table. Other rooms offer neon artwork and even vintage Versace in the master bath. More recently, Elton and David also picked up the property directly next door to their main Beverly Hills house, creating a mini compound. At the end of 2021, Elton spent 8.5 million dollars on the half-acre property beside his house in an off-market deal. So now, he nearly has a full acre of land altogether. The home was never publicly listed for sale so there aren't any interior photos online. But we do know it's a single-level, mid-century modern-style build, built in the late 1960s but updated in the years since. There are also 5,343 square feet throughout, with 5 beds and 5 baths. The exterior is painted a less-than-favorable shade of yellow, but I'm sure that'll be changed soon if it hasn't been already, and the property is walled and gated for privacy. While the landscaping seems a bit unkempt, the spread is potential and the grounds consist of a grassy lawn and a swimming pool, as well as more hedges for privacy. Each of Elton's homes has its own identity and glamour, but they all provide a sanctuary, and his properties in the UK are no different. Being a native of England, of course he has a couple of homes here, one of which is in Windsor and an additional, smaller townhome in Queensdale, London. The first house, Woodside, Elton refers to as The Hub, has classic English interiors, romantic gardens, a dozen or more dogs roaming the property, and plenty of guest rooms for friends and family. While we don't know exact details about his two estates here, Elton has described the Windsor house as tastefully over the top, and there is a vintage feel throughout with a beautiful 18th century orangery at the end of the driveway, which is tech-free. His London pad has a European villa aesthetic that is classic and sophisticated. His home is far from modest, and has numerous rooms from a luxury library, to a salon and even its own chapel. Elton restored the orangery at the end of the driveway as I mentioned, and it's a complete retreat with no TVs, phones, and only classical music. The space is a salon room full of antiques, where you can enjoy some champagne before dinner, as well as another library for writing letters. The chapel on his property is dedicated to honouring those close to him that have passed, like Versace, Princess Diana, and Elton's beloved grandmother. Also inside his Windsor estate, there's a squash court that has been transformed into a skylight art gallery, and an amazing garden with fountains and statues to the side of the mansion. Another living room has a fireplace and is decked out with more antiques, and the formal dining room has a dark blue for the walls and drapery. Elton's London townhouse design was actually inspired by the star's friendship with the late Freddie Mercury. He acquired a taste for blonde wood furniture after seeing how Freddie used it in his home at the time, and decked out his place in the same material. Elton, the star pianist, may have baby grand pianos at his other homes, but he refuses to put one in this London pad because he insists that it'll never get used. Before we wrap this video up, let's look at one of Elton's more recent property acquisitions. This charming 1920s abode in Nice, France, she likes to call the Summer House. This home is used as a vacation retreat, as you might expect, and it's located high up in the mountainside, boasting views of the Alps and the bay. The property is close enough to the airport, making it for easy travel, and from, it's also easy for his friends to get to. The summer house is definitely a place for Elton to connect with loved ones, where they can join in for a meal out on the terrace, and have a luxury room to stay in. The sunny yellow estate was built in the 1920s as an artist's colony before Elton hired designers Fred Dilger and Monique Gibson to transform the interior with his flamboyant tastes. He wanted stone, glass and mirror, wood, wrought iron and linen used throughout, as well as open spaces for the warm weather. Inside there's a mostly white colour palette with splashes of colour and plenty of vibrant art pieces. In the living room, there's a neutral background, with a glass and art collection with three inkblot paintings by Andy Warhol. In Elton's private master suite, there's another Warhol painting above his designer bed, and pink bed covers. Elsewhere, you'll find an airy tower room which overlooks the Mediterranean. The property at Elton's summer home also shows floral arrangements all over, and amazing scenic gardens. It looks like something straight out of the movies. As we've seen, not only are Elton John's homes all luxurious as they come, they're all full of bold personality like his own style is. But that's gonna bring this house tour to an end.
