Tucked into Rowlett's desirable Northaven neighborhood, this thoughtfully planned single-story home offers 2,753 square feet of flexible living space with a layout that effortlessly adapts to changing needs. The split-bedroom design creates natural separation between gathering spaces and private retreats, while the greenbelt backdrop provides a sense of openness and privacy rarely found in suburban living. The kitchen was made for more than quick meals. Expansive prep space, an extended gas cooktop, built-in oven and microwave, and abundant cabinetry create a workspace that functions as beautifully as it looks. Custom cabinetry with pull out shelves in lower cabinets, paired with a striking mirrored tile backsplash brings a sophisticated edge. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate dining area and spacious living room with a stacked stone gas log fireplace. The floor plan offers exceptional versatility. Two secondary bedrooms and a full bath are off the hallway near the main living area. A separate bedroom with its own ensuite bath is tucked near the mudroom and kitchen, making it perfect for multigenerational living, long-term guests, or a private retreat for older children. When the day winds down, the primary suite features an oversized shower, soaking tub, dedicated linen storage, and an impressive walk-in closet designed to keep everyday life organized. An office provides a quiet place to work, create, or study, while the backyard invites you to slow down and enjoy the natural greenbelt setting beyond the fence line. This home has been gently lived in, very well-maintained, and was built with energy efficient features throughout including encapsulated foam. The neighborhood is conveniently accessible to the President George Bush Turnpike for easy commuter access to major employers in Dallas, Plano, and Richardson. Northaven features a community pool, wide sidewalks and walking trails, and a community playground.
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.
