Jamie McCarthy/Getty ImagesThe final Detroit property owned by Aretha Franklin, a 5,600-square-foot mansion situated next to the Detroit Golf Club, was sold recently by the late Queen of Soul’s estate, the Detroit News reports.
According public records obtained by the newspaper, the home was purchased for $300,000 late last month by a resident of the Detroit suburb of Northville. An empty half-acre lot next to the property was included in the sale.
Aretha bought the house, which was built in 1927, in 1993. The brick mansion boats a slate roof and features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, three fireplaces and a three-car garage.
As previously reported by Realtor.com, another home owned by Franklin — a colonial-style mansion located in the affluent Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Township — is on the market for $800,000. The 4,100-square-foot residence features five bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms and a sauna room. The house was custom-built in 1990.
Aretha Franklin was living in a riverfront Detroit apartment when she passed away August 16 at the age of 76 of pancreatic cancer. She left her entire estate to her four sons.
