One of the top travel and retirement destinations in the Midwest, Traverse City lies on the Great Traverse Bay, an arm of Lake Michigan that offers sailing, swimming and fishing.

The lake moderates the area's climate, which has helped make it a major fruit producing region.

Located on a sandy beach close to town, this home was built in 1950 and has been updated with concrete countertops, an open floor plan and high ceilings.

There's a large master suite with a spa-like bathroom that has two sinks and a custom ceramic tile shower with multiple shower heads. There are also three more bedrooms.

The three-quarter acre lot is just feet from the sand and features a fire pit. If you need to rinse off before heading inside, you can use the outdoor shower.

Since it was first listed in March, this house's price has been reduced by $50,000.
