A historic Detroit mansion owned by late singing legend Aretha Franklin has been sold.
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. It was built in 1927.
The Queen of Soul bought the home in 1993, but nearly lost it in 2008 due to more than $19,000 in unpaid property taxes, according to the Detroit News.
Franklin estate personal representative Sabrina Garrett-Owens said 'there are no other Detroit properties' that were owned by Franklin.

It's unclear who the new owner of the home is, but they also purchased an empty half-acre lot next to the property.
The mansion features five bedrooms, six bathrooms and three fireplaces. It also has a three-car garage.
Franklin also has a 4,148-square-foot Colonial-style house in suburban Detroit's Bloomfield Township which is still listed for $800,000.
The five-bedroom home outside Detroit is where Franklin lived for two decades and went on sale last month.
She lived in the brick mansion from the late 1990s until she moved to a downtown Detroit condominium building during the last year of her life.
Franklin, who grew up singing in her father's Detroit church and used her explosive voice to power such songs as Respect and A Natural Woman, died on August 16 of pancreatic cancer after a legendary six-decade career. She was 76.
Her two-story home, which features a marble-floored kitchen and a sauna, is located in a gated community in Bloomfield Township.
The suburb was identified by Bloomberg as the most expensive real estate market in the Midwestern state of Michigan.

Her four adult sons are expected to be the heirs.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
