Detroit's memories of Aretha Franklin are forever, but her real estate footprint in the city is gone.

A 5,600-square-foot historic mansion on Hamilton Road next to the Detroit Golf Club in northwest Detroit has been sold by the entertainer's estate for $300,000, Louis Aguilar of The Detroit News reports. It's her last property in Detroit. 

A Northville resident bought the home, which includes a half-acre lot, in late October.

Franklin bought the property in 1993 for an undisclosed price. In 2008, she almost lost the home to tax collectors.

Franklin's former residence in Bloomfield Township is still on the market listed at $800,000.
