The Mid-Century Ranch, Reimagined
Welcome to 40774 Ambar Place, a single-level ranch in Fremont's coveted Kimber-Gomes neighborhood where 1964 mid-century character meets a well-conceived 2008 addition that transformed this home into something far greater than the sum of its parts. Spanning 2,828 square feet on a nearly 10,000 square foot lot, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers the kind of flexibility, livability, and indoor-outdoor flow that defines exceptional California living.
The Heart of the Home — Kitchen & Living
The well-appointed kitchen is the undisputed hub of daily life here. Abundant windows flood the space with natural light while generous counter space invites serious cooking and casual gathering alike. A Samsung Family Hub refrigerator, double oven gas range with air fry, and dishwasher round out a stainless appliance suite worthy of the home. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the formal dining area and sits in easy reach of the family room, office, and formal living room — a layout that keeps everyone connected without sacrificing definition between spaces.
The formal living room anchors the original footprint with the warmth and charm of a wood-burning fireplace — a nod to the home's mid-century roots that never goes out of style.
The 2008 Addition — Where the Home Truly Shines
The addition is the story of this home. Conceived with intention and executed with care, it added a commodious family room, a distinguished private office, and a sumptuous owner's suite — all of which feel cohesive, generous, and purposeful.
The family room is anchored by tray ceilings, custom built-in bookshelves, and a ceiling-integrated surround sound system with home theater wiring already in place. It shares a dual-faced gas fireplace with the adjacent office — a centerpiece that serves both rooms simultaneously and creates an atmosphere that is as functional as it is visually compelling.
The office is a dedicated workspace that takes itself seriously. A French door entry sets the tone, while custom built-in bookshelves provide both storage and character. Whether working from home is a daily reality or an occasional necessity, this space delivers.
The Owner's Suite — A True Retreat
The owner's suite is everything a primary bedroom should be and rarely is. Tray ceilings lend architectural distinction, while a walk-in closet, luxurious soaking tub, and roomy shower address every practical need. An elevated private deck just off the suite overlooks the backyard — a quiet personal escape perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or simply starting the day in peace.
Multi-generational Living — A Rare and Valuable Asset
In the Bay Area, where extended family from around the world is a way of life for many households, a true junior suite is not a bonus — it is a necessity. Ambar Place delivers. The junior suite offers a comfortable, private en-suite bath that affords visiting family members or long-term guests the dignity and comfort of their own space within the home. For buyers with parents, in-laws, or family members who travel from abroad, this feature alone sets Ambar Place apart from the majority of homes in this price range.
Solid Cherry Hardwood Floors
Throughout the home, rich solid cherry hardwood floors ground every space with warmth, depth, and a quality that is immediately apparent underfoot. At nearly three-quarters of an inch thick, these floors have the substance and longevity that thinner engineered products simply cannot replicate.
An Entertainer's Backyard
Step outside and discover an outdoor living environment built for year-round enjoyment. A substantial pergola shelters a fully equipped outdoor kitchen featuring a built-in grill, side burner, prep sink, and stainless steel-fronted storage — everything needed to host effortlessly without leaving the backyard. A covered patio with recessed lighting, electric heaters, ceiling fan, and wired speakers connected to the home entertainment system creates an outdoor room that is as capable as it is inviting. An expansive grass area provides room for play, relaxation, and everything in between. On the opposite side of the home, an elevated private deck off the owner's suite offers quiet seclusion away from the activity of the main yard.
The Garage — More Than You'd Expect
At 450 square feet, this is not your typical garage. Drywalled, textured, and finished to a standard that reflects the care taken throughout the home, it offers genuine flexibility beyond simply parking two cars. Whether the vision is a workshop, hobby space, extra storage, or simply the luxury of room to move, this garage delivers. A dedicated 240V Level 2 EV charging circuit is already in place — a practical amenity that is increasingly non-negotiable for today's buyers and one less thing to think about after move-in.
Location — Kimber-Gomes & Mission San Jose
Kimber-Gomes is one of Fremont's most sought-after neighborhoods, and for good reason. Served by Gomes Elementary, Hopkins Middle, and the highly acclaimed Mission San Jose High School — consistently ranked among the top public high schools in California — the address alone commands attention in the marketplace.
Beyond the schools, the location offers exceptional everyday convenience. Lake Elizabeth Park, Gomes Park, Mission San Jose, and Ohlone College are all minutes away. The Irvington District provides neighborhood retail and dining. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate easy access to Mission Peak Regional Preserve — one of the Bay Area's premier hiking destinations — as well as Fremont's extensive park system, which offers green space, recreation, and trails at every turn. Commuters are well served by both BART and ACE Train access, along with easy freeway connections. And for those who love a scenic drive or weekend adventure, Niles Canyon is just around the corner.
A Home With a Story Worth Telling
Ambar Place is not a cookie-cutter listing. It is a home that has been lived in, loved, and meaningfully expanded by owners who understood what they had and invested accordingly. The result is a property that offers single-level convenience, multi=generational flexibility, genuine architectural character, and an outdoor living environment that will be the envy of every guest who walks through the gate.
Come see it for yourself, you'll be glad that you did!

about this
Nestled in between the East Bay and South Bay regions of the San Francisco Bay Area, Fremont has quickly emerged as a popular place for residents in the tech industry. Featuring a mix of condos, townhomes, and spacious single-family homes, Fremont offers a variety of real estate for any budget. Although it is the fourth-most populous city (behind San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland), Fremont’s population density is less than half of the other major Bay Area cities, which makes it a far less crowded place to make your home.
Central Park - Lake Elizabeth sits within the heart of Fremont, and is a popular place for residents to gather and enjoy the outdoors. Enjoy gorgeous views of the Mission Peak Hills as you take a morning jog, or while participating in one of the many activities the park has to offer. Popular amenities of Central Park include a seasonal waterpark, boat rentals, children’s playgrounds, a skate park, dog park, and picnic areas. The Fremont Park Golf Course sits adjacent to the park, and you will find a variety of concerts and events at the Central Park Performance Pavilion.
Everything from groceries and entertainment to medical facilities can be found within Fremont’s Central District. The Raley’s on Paseo Padre Parkway and Walnut Avenue offers incredible organic produce, as well as a full-service deli and an amazing beer and wine selection. Once the shopping and errands are complete, head back to Gateway Plaza and catch the latest feature films at Cine’ Lounge, or keep your hair looking its best with a visit to The Artistry Salon.
Fremont is also home to some incredible restaurants including Frodo Joe’s Petite Cafe, Din Ding Dumpling House, and Spin A Yarn Steakhouse.
One of the biggest reasons why Fremont has become a popular place for residents in the tech industry is the easy access to highways and public transit. Fremont Station is conveniently located in Downtown Fremont, and makes it easy to commute to and from Silicon Valley. If you own a car, the commute is cut down to less than half an hour thanks to Interstate 880 and the Dumbarton Bridge.
