Aretha Franklin's former home is for sale -- and you can it buy for under $1 million

Updated

Aretha Franklin's Detroit home is on the market, again.

The Queen of Soul's 'Rose Estate' is a 5,623-square-foot mansion that was built in the 1920s. Its nickname is directly related to the rose imagery throughout the estate and because Franklin recorded her album A Rose Is Still a Rose while she lived there.

Take a look at the house in the slideshow below.

According to the listing on Zillow, the home requires major renovations. It also states, however, the bare bones have 'great potential.' The six-bedroom, five-bathroom mansion sits between Palmer Park and the Detroit Golf Club.

The realty company is asking for $600,000 for the home. Proof of funds is required for all showings.
