Inside Look at Aretha Franklin's Historic Detroit Mansion

This property has been renovated and the new owners now live there as of October 2023.
The Aretha Franklin mansion is a 3-story house that was built in 1927 and is approximately 6000-square-feet. It backs right up to the seventh hole on the city’s prestigious and private Detroit Golf Club. The mansion features immaculate hand-carved woodwork and details throughout. It also had three beautiful stone and marble fireplaces. The first floor has a library, family room, two-story living room, kitchen and breakfast area and a solarium with stone-arched walls overlooking the terrace and golf course. The house was listed in 2022 for $1.2 million but was just recently lowered to just under a $1 million.
With this mansion having that history and still having some of Aretha’s furniture and decor, on top of Detroit's comeback story, surely this historic mansion will sell soon. Thankfully I was able to document it all before that happened. *Update: The Aretha Franklin Mansion was sold in the summer of 2023 and renovations have begun. Most of the decor and furnishings that were left, are all gone forever. That’s going to come to the conclusion of Aretha Franklin’s abandoned mansion.
