Set among mature trees on a spacious, private lot, 3533 Choplinshire Way is the kind of home that feels welcoming from the moment you arrive. The covered front porch sets the tone, while the bright interior unfolds into warm hardwood floors, generous windows, and a layout designed for both everyday life and memorable gatherings. Just off the foyer, French doors open to a sun-filled office framed by bay windows—an inspiring place to begin the workday or settle in with a good book. Beyond it, the heart of the house opens into a spacious living area where natural light pours in, the fireplace creates an inviting focal point, and the rooms flow easily from one to the next. The eat-in kitchen that brings character and color to dinner parties, holiday meals, and quiet evenings at home. From here, step out to the screened porch for a shaded morning coffee, then continue onto the deck for outdoor meals and evenings overlooking the peaceful, tree-lined backyard, or gather around the fire pit to enjoy the beautiful NC weather. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a true retreat with a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, and a private bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Additional bedrooms provide comfortable space for family or guests, while the expansive bonus room invites endless possibilities—movie nights, music, games, fitness, creative work, or a second home office. Even the practical spaces are unusually generous. The oversized laundry room offers room to organize, fold, and manage daily routines, while the walk-up attic, storage shed, and two-car garage provide the storage every home needs but rarely has enough of. With nearly 2,900 square feet, multiple places to gather and unwind, and a setting that feels both peaceful and connected, this home is ready to hold the next chapter of someone's story. Convenient to Downtown Apex, Downtown Raleigh, RTP, and RDU International Airport. Energy savings with solar panels!
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.
