About this home
Set behind a classic arched courtyard filled with bougainvillea and the sound of a bubbling fountain, this 1931 Spanish Colonial Revival draws you into something special. Situated in the heart of Glendale's Rossmoyne Historic District, a neighborhood known for some of the city's most beautiful Spanish architecture, the home balances historic character with thoughtful updates that respect its past. The carved wooden front door opens to a welcoming entry where soft arches and a magnesite floor create an elegant first impression. From here, step down into the living room with its original French windows, vaulted beamed ceiling accented with hand-stenciled details, and a fireplace surrounded by handmade tiles from the historic Markoff Mosaic Tile Corporation. Peg-and-groove hardwood floors carry through much of the home, bringing warmth and texture to each space. Across from the living room, the dining room looks onto the courtyard fountain and offers generous proportions, setting the stage for gatherings. The updated kitchen is bright and functional, blending seamlessly with the home's style and offering plenty of room for cooking and connection. One and 3/4 bathrooms reflect the home's 1931 roots with restored tilework, while three bedrooms provide comfortable retreats, including an en-suite that opens to the veranda and backyard. Outdoors, a flagstone-paved yard surrounds the expansive spa beneath twinkling lights and umbrellas, framed by stucco walls and mature greenery. The shaded veranda just off the house offers a relaxed spot to lounge or entertain, making the backyard feel like a private retreat. Additional updates include copper plumbing, newer central air and heat, and a bolted foundation. 1148 Cordova is a home where history feels alive and daily life fits right in.

FAQs
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.

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.
