TL;DR

Aretha Franklin's childhood home in Detroit's Historic La Salle Gardens neighborhood is back on the market for $379,900 after a recent sale fell through. The 6,000-square-foot brick colonial built in 1916 has six bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two half-bathrooms, and a detached, four-car garage. The house was re-created on a movie set in Atlanta for several pivotal scenes in the 2021 film "Respect," which chronicles Franklin's life from childhood in the 1950s through her breakthrough as a global star. The house needs a lot of work, and the realtor hopes to find buyers ready to fully restore the home.
