Elton John's childhood three-bedroom home is a semi-detached house at 55 Pinner Hill Road in Pinner, a well-known suburb of the London Borough of Harrow, which lies around 12 miles north of Central London, where he lived from his birth in 1947 until he was 11 years old. The house was put up for sale for £500,000 in 2015 by the 87-year-old owner, who has lived in the home for 40 years. The property stayed listed for 72 hours before it was sold on June 15, 2015, to a couple, fans of the singer, and eventually sold for £525,000. As he became famous, Elton went on to own several properties worldwide.
