3 beds · 2 baths · 2,720 sqft
Hip and Groovy 1950s Mid-Century Modern dream home! A perfectly preserved time capsule. Originally designed by notable architect Bernard Harris for his family (he collaborated on the original MCM Luby's restaurants in town), you could be the third owner of this property in 69 years! Signature wood paneling lines the walls of both living rooms, each with built-in bookshelves and sharing a hidden pass-through bar. The primary suite is a large footprint; it includes outdoor access and an attached office (which could become a fourth bedroom). Step into the galley kitchen with granite counters and double ovens, next to the laundry room. Enviable parking with an attached two car garage + separate carport and storage shed. The garage houses two storage spaces, one with central HVAC. If desired, there's space for expanding the kitchen, laundry room, and primary bathroom within the home's existing footprint. A spacious, fully fenced yard is enjoyed through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Newer roof installed, plus private city services in Castle Hills. The city is at your doorstep-it's the most convenient, central location in San Antonio with all the vibes. Easily drive anywhere in minutes! Plus, the home's original terrazzo flooring is waiting for you under the carpet in the living and dining rooms (get a sneak peak of it in the dining room closet). This house offers timeless design and an enviable layout with no wasted space. See it today!

To qualify, you must meet the current FHA or VA 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%. 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.
FHA (Federal Housing Administration) loans
FHA loans require the buyer to assume the mortgage as a primary residence.
VA (Veteran's Affairs) loans
You don't have to be a veteran to assume a VA loan. However, not all veterans are willing to let a non veteran assume their mortgage. Roam confirms the seller's willingness prior to you making an offer.
Investors
You may be able to assume a VA mortgage as an investor without it being your primary residence.
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.
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.
