The Atlanta home in Georgia, where Kenny Rogers spent his final days, has gone on the market for $2.5 million.
Rogers bought the home in 2019 for $1.705 million to be closer to his medical team with his wife Wanda Rogers-Webb, who was married to the late singer for more than 20 years and shares twin sons.
Close friend of the singer for more than 20 years and estate agent, Thom McCorkle, told DailyMail.com that now, four years since Rogers’s death in March 2020 at 81-years-old, Rogers-Webb has said she is remarried and relocating.
The estimated 7,600-square-foot French-Country style home has been put on the market for $2.475 million, according to McCorkle of Ansley Real Estate Christie’s International.
The home – nestled away in the Sandy Springs Atlanta suburb – was built in 2003 and renovated by the couple during their short time living in the property.
McCorkle said: ‘As you walk in, it’s a big open two-story foyer with a beautiful office to the right where Kenny where he did all his business.’
He continued, ‘And it’s adorned with a lot of his awards, Grammys, American Music Awards.’
The couple added a fountain to the front of the house surrounded by boxwood hedges, as well as commissioned mosaics in the kitchen.
An elevator was installed across all three floors of the home to help Rogers move around the house more easily, McCorkle added that Rogers enjoyed spending time with his sons whose bedrooms were on the second floor.
The singer who was best known for his 1978 chart-topper, The Gambler, and the 1977 hit, Lucille, had a lower-level entertainment area with a home theater, a ping-pong table and poker tables, as well as displays of Rogers’s platinum records and photography.
During the country singer’s life, he flipped about ten homes across places such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Malibu and California.
Rogers was renowned for his diverse set of skills; the talented singer was also an enthusiastic house-flipper and founded Kenji Design Studios with interior designer Jim Weinberg.
McCorkle, Rogers’s long friend, said he was fortunate enough to visit many homes Rogers owned over the years.
He said: ‘It seemed like every two or three years he and Wanda would buy a new house and move. They would, buy them, fix them up.’
Rogers’s style, as described by McCorkle, consisted of a lot of earthy tones and a unique style much similar to the French-Country look of this Sandy Springs home.
McCorkle also spoke of Rogers’s preference for privacy balanced with close access to restaurants and activities in Atlanta.
The 0.6-acre home features six bedrooms, an outdoor pool, a kitchenette, wine storage, as well as a kitchen with a butler’s pantry, breakfast nook and coffee bar.
The iconic singer was born in Texas and moved to Georgia in the 1980s, he was married five times and had five children, and he was honored with the induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville in 2013.
McCorkle described the singer as an ‘icon and a Country legend’ and said the property is ‘a great piece’, adding: ‘I think the family’s excited that someone else is going to get to enjoy the home, hopefully as much as they did.’
