Tucked behind a private gated entry on just under an acre in rural Jackson, this custom-built Colonial offers the space, quality, and thoughtful design that’s hard to find. From the moment you step inside, the the two-story foyer sets the tone — durable tile carries you from the entry through to the kitchen, while rich hardwood floors flow through the living room, dining room, and family room, creating a warm and cohesive feel throughout the main level through into the kitchen, where a gourmet layout delivers everything a home chef could ask for: a dedicated cooktop, wall oven, walk-in pantry, and an eat-at bar top perfect for casual gatherings. Sliding doors off the kitchen open to a deck overlooking the generous rear yard, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. The main floor features a family room with a gas fireplace, a second living space dressed in custom shiplap with ample natural lighting — ideal as a media room, playroom, or lounge — plus a dedicated laundry room and half bath, all on the same level. Upstairs, four bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with dual closets and a spa-like en suite complete with a soaking tub, standing shower, and dual vanities. The finished walkout basement adds even more flexibility: a fifth bedroom, additional living or storage space, and direct access to a heated two-car garage that any hobbyist will appreciate. At a total 3,602 sq ft, this home also offers dual-zone HVAC (2008/2024) and a central vacuum system — the kind of details that make everyday living noticeably easier. Privacy, craftsmanship, and room to truly spread out — all within reach of everything Jackson has to offer.
Roam is your trusted partner for affordable home ownership. We help manage the assumption process from start to finish, enabling homebuyers to easily purchase their next home with a low-interest rate mortgage attached.
To qualify, you must meet the current FHA, VA, or USDA loan requirements depending on the type of loan you are assuming. This typically means a minimum credit score of 580, although most lenders prefer 620-640. Your debt-to-income ratio should be under the 50% max under FHA guidelines. Additional information such as employment history, explanations of income for each applicant, and asset verification for a down payment may be needed to process the loan.
An assumable mortgage is a type of home loan that allows a homebuyer to take over the existing mortgage terms from the seller, with no cost to the seller. Many government-backed loans, such as FHA and VA loans, are eligible for assumption, and millions of these mortgages are available.
When interest rates on mortgages are high, assuming a mortgage with a rate as low as 2% allows buyers to save up to thousands monthly compared to buying a home with a traditional mortgage at today’s average rates of 7%. A low-rate assumable mortgage could be the key to finding your dream home at an affordable price.

When assuming the existing mortgage as part of a home purchase, the buyer has to cover the seller’s equity in the home. The seller’s equity is the purchase price minus the remaining mortgage balance. This amount must be covered in full through an all-cash down payment or by taking out a second mortgage.
Yes. Non-veterans can assume a VA loan, provided they meet the lender’s VA criteria. When a qualified buyer assumes a VA mortgage from a veteran or active-duty service member, the seller’s VA loan entitlement remains tied to the assumed loan until the buyer pays off or refinances the loan. This process restores the veteran seller’s entitlement, enabling them to use their VA benefit for a future home purchase.
Yes. All FHA loans are assumable by law as long as the buyer meets the FHA’s credit, income, and qualification requirements and obtain lender approval before assuming the loan (per FHA regulations effected December 15, 1989). Roam makes this process simple for buyers.
Generally, conventional loans are not assumable. In rare cases, a conventional loan may be assumable with lender approval. Use our search tool to find homes with assumable low-rate loans, or reach out to us if you’d like to confirm a specific home’s assumability.
