Mid-Century Modern home in a Remarkable Location sitting on 1.25 acres literally between two State Parks; Starved Rock State Park, noted as one of Illinois' Seven Wonders, and Matthiessen State Park! Unique style inside! Don't miss out, you won't find another like it for miles!! This home has so much room inside and out, it would be a great one for entertaining too! There are 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Bath measures 8x14. The bath has a whirlpool tub and a stand alone shower, also a closet to keep your towels, etc. The entire home has beamed ceilings throughout. All the rooms in the home are decent sizes, the kitchen has a ton of counter space, two ovens, and an electric cooktop, along with a refrigerator to be included. There's also room for a table. The living room area is Gi-Normous! Is that a word?! You can, of course, use this room to combine as a dining room area at one end also without taking away from the living area (measures 18x30). Many of the rooms in the home have knotty-pine designed into them. All of the bedroom closets are also cedar lined. The home also has the mini-split system for the a/c, which also supplies heat in the winter, making your heating and cooling bills more efficient. Outside you will enjoy a large covered patio area, fenced yard, and large pole bldg. The Building is a 63'X42 Wicks Shed, that has a 16' overhead door that can accommodate a semi tractor with lots of room to spare. There is an unfinished coy pond just off the patio that is waiting to be completed by the new owner.
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.
