A lucky home buyer now owns the house the late, great Aretha Franklin lived in. But it didn’t sell for millions of dollars. This is Detroit, y’all! The Detroit News reports that, according to public records, the 5,600-square-foot brick home adjacent to the Detroit Golf Club fetched $300,000 in a sale last month.

The house was built in 1927. The singer bought the home in 1993, but nearly lost it in 2008 due to unpaid property taxes.

Aretha’s second home — a colonial-style house in suburban Detroit’s Bloomfield Township — is still listed for $800,000.

Any takers?
