From the moment you pull up, this home stands out with its classic curb appeal and inviting front porch that sets the tone for everything inside. The wide, covered porch offers plenty of space to relax or gather, framed by mature trees that add both character and shade. The timeless exterior highlights the kind of craftsmanship and architectural style that’s becoming harder to find, giving the home a warm, established feel before you ever step through the door. Inside, that same inviting atmosphere continues with rich wood flooring, natural light, and a layout that feels both comfortable and adaptable. The main living and dining areas flow easily for everyday living, while the additional room toward the back provides flexibility for how the space is used—whether that’s a second living area, workspace, or something entirely unique to your needs. Just beyond that, the enclosed sun-filled space adds another layer of versatility, currently arranged with a bed but offering options depending on how you envision the home. Upstairs, a full bedroom creates a sense of separation and privacy, rounding out a layout that offers multiple ways to live in the space without feeling confined to one setup. Out back, the large yard gives you room to spread out, entertain, or create your own outdoor retreat. There’s plenty of space for gardening, pets, hobbies, or simply enjoying the open area, along with a detached structure that can serve as storage or a workshop. With a roof approximately 3 years old, HVAC around 5 years old, and a newer dishwasher, the home blends key updates with its original character. This is a property that offers flexibility, personality, and room to make it your own—ideal for anyone looking for a home that adapts to their lifestyle rather than the other way around.
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.
