About this home

Step inside this mid-century modern gem, and you immediately feel it-this is a home that was made to be lived in, gathered in, and remembered. In this 5 bedroom, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths, there's space here for every season of life. An impressive foyer with a sweeping spiral staircase welcomes you in, complemented by a unique octagon-shaped half bath that sets the tone for the home's architectural character. Just beyond, the layout unfolds with intention and warmth. The primary suite on the main level is a true retreat, featuring a spa-like bath with a sunken tub, separate walk-in shower, water closet, double sinks, three closets, and a linen closet-a rare combination of luxury and function. Also on the main floor is a guest or in-law suite with its own full bath, offering privacy and flexibility for visitors or multigenerational living. At the heart of the home is the two-story kitchen, flooded with natural light from overhead windows. It's both striking and inviting, with a breakfast nook, open grill, stool seating, pass-through cabinetry, and a wet bar-perfect for hosting, casual mornings, or late-night conversations. A formal dining room is ready for holidays and celebrations, while the formal sitting room with a gas fireplace creates a cozy yet elegant space to unwind. Upstairs, bedrooms 3-5 share a full bath and are connected by the grand hall with custom bookshelves attaching to the loft that overlooks both the kitchen and the sitting room, adding to the home's open, connected feel. The lower level is designed for fun and flexibility, featuring a bar area, family room, and a bonus room ready to become a home theater, game room, gym, or creative space. A large deck overlooking the backyard is the perfect spot for morning coffee, summer gatherings, or quiet evenings surrounded by nature. This is more than a house-it's a statement, a sanctuary, and a place where mid-century design meets modern living in one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods.

FAQ

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.

Roam has compiled available listings with low-rate assumable mortgages for you to browse. To get started, enter the city, state, zip code, or school district you’re interested in purchasing in. Utilize the search filters to narrow down your search. Click “Save search” to save your search preferences and activate listing notifications—we’ll email you as soon as new listings match your criteria.

Once you’ve found your dream home and ready to make an offer, schedule a call with a Roam Advisor directly from the listing. Your Roam Advisor will guide you through each step of the process, while also working directly with your agent, the servicer, and the seller to ensure you close on time.

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.
