About this home
Exceptional opportunity to own approximately 0.72 acres in the highly desirable Niles District of Fremont! The true value of this property is in the land, offering an incredible opportunity to build your dream home or explore the potential for a lot split and future development. The existing home is in need of significant repairs and is likely a tear-down, making this an ideal opportunity for builders, developers, or buyers looking to create their own custom estate. Enjoy the charm and character of historic Niles while taking advantage of this rare, oversized parcel. Buyers are encouraged to investigate zoning, subdivision possibilities, and development potential with the City of Fremont. Property is occupied. Please do not disturb the occupant or enter the property without prior authorization.

Canyon Heights-Vallejo Mills-Niles Crest, located between Niles Canyon Road and Mission Boulevard, is a hillside and historic Fremont neighborhood with winding canyon views and a small-town main-street feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Niles Boulevard near J Street, where antique storefronts, indie galleries, and old-school eateries line the walkable blocks. Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum and the Niles Canyon Railway act as cultural anchors with deep local roots. Craftsman bungalows and mid-century ranch homes mix with view-oriented streets climbing toward the ridgeline. Alameda Creek and nearby trailheads shape an outdoors-forward rhythm. Weekend foot traffic gathers around coffee counters, vintage finds, and community events tied to the district’s film history.
