Garage-rock whiz Jack White cut one of his last ties to the Motor City when he sold his five-bedroom, 5,800-square-foot home in the old-money Indian Village neighborhood.
The Grammy-winning leader of the White Stripes and member of the Raconteurs sold the 93-year-old house to a retired couple from Maryland for $590,000, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
White, 31, paid $524,000 for the house in 2003, put it on the market last August for $930,000 and later cut the price to $650,000, the Journal said.
The house was designed by C. Howard Crane, best known as a movie palace architect whose works include the lavish Fox Theatre in downtown Detroit.
