Madonna’s Detroit Childhood Home For Sale!
Madonna's Detroit Childhood Home For Sale!
Whoa! Don't they sell souvenirs on eBay? It worked the first time for this property, but that was when it was intact. Today, this rather nondescript former middleclass house in Rochester Hills is a burned out shell!
For Madonna and her five siblings, losing their mother to breast cancer while living in this house left bad memories and caused each one to have trauma expanding well into adulthood. In Madonna's case, the loss of her mother and anger over the remarriage of her father seemed to be the catalyst that threw her into her somewhat bizarre and aggressive approach to life, demonstrative scorn of religion and impacted much of her later career. Among her many business successes, stage achievements, acting pitfalls and multiple marriages, Madonna Louise Ciccone is recognized as the world's top selling female recording artist of all time by the Guinness World Records. At the current age of 53 and looking better than ever before, this is a woman who has managed to cram at least 5 average lifetimes into one and though switching focus somewhat, is already in the middle of the next one!
On slightly over a quarter acre, this home used to house eight people in 4 BR and 2 BA, in 2,639sf -- pretty close quarters even if everyone got along. The thought of having six teenagers in there is enough to make most of us entertain nothing less than hari-kari! Hope the lot is worth the $49k. There's not much left to do but raze it and start over. Otherwise the neighbors are likely to turn into an angry mob heading toward . . You!
Once sold over $300k. Now only $49k for a unique Madonna souvenir.
