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. Its oak paneling and damask wallpaper contrasts with the White Stripes?? signature red and white color scheme.
White now lives in Nashville with his wife and daughter. He told the Associated Press in a 2006 interview that he had to leave Detroit because he ??couldn??t take the negativity anymore.?

Anyone that's paying that much for a house in Detroit is a fool.
