It's been a crazy few months for houses for sale by musicians. A commenter on Nikki's Sixx's house led me to discover Jack White's Detroit home for sale (Thanks, Dina). The home is 1721 Seminole, a center-entrance Colonial that is rich in charm and old-fashioned details. The four-bedroom home has beautiful woodwork and formal details including large chandeliers, intricate moldings and original features such as hand-painted wallpaper in the dining room. There is a beautiful old library and a large safe in the hallway. The modern kitchen juxtaposed against an old butler's pantry that includes the original oak ice box.

The master bedroom was hand-painted by Jack White and has a bathroom with the original Pewabic subway tile and a new dressing room. The basement was recently restored and includes a laundry room and new bathroom. Outside there is a secret garden that includes a koi pond and various shrubs.

An article on a Detroit website this summer reports that White recorded the White Stripes' 2005 album "Get Behind Me Satan" in the grand staircase and foyer.

Compared to our usual estate-of-the-day listings, this one can be yours for a song. It is listed at $930,000. After the jump, what's black and white and red all over?

You sure as heck can't get all that in southern california for that price. Instead of an awesome historic home, you get a cookie cutter tract home about 2 inches from the neighbors and no backyard. After the jump, isn't it awesome to pay over a million dollars to live in a glorified condo?
