Aretha Franklin's Michigan Home Hits the Market with a Higher Price Tag

You better ‘Respect’ late legend Aretha Franklin’s chic Michigan home as it just came onto the market asking a bold $400,000 more than its October listing price. After the “Queen of Soul” passed away last August, the property went up for sale in the fall asking $800,000, but was soon taken back off. It seems since then the house has underwent some renovations because now it is listed for $1.2 million, a steal really when you think of the incredible woman who lived there.

Not only was Aretha Franklin a 18-time Grammy winner, but she also was the first female artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Needless to say, she wouldn’t live anywhere that isn’t noteworthy. This pristine 4,148-square-foot residence is located just 30 minutes north of Detroit and offers plenty of room for hosting family and friends. With gorgeous decks and a sprawling lawn right next to a pond, this property has everything you need to enjoy the outdoors.

Inside, high ceilings and walls of windows make way for out of this world acoustics and an airy atmosphere. There’s nothing stuffy about the home’s many bright spaces, which are perfect for entertaining or decompressing after a long day.

Within the thoughtful floor plan, there are 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. A new owner will never need to worry about space when it comes to hosting family and friends, and will feel a sense of wonder thinking about how Aretha used to glide down the very same halls.

Michael Hermiz and The Michael Team of RE/MAX New Trend have the listing, which Mansion Global first reported is for sale again.
