A rare chance to own a fourplex in Montclair, one of Oakland’s most sought-after neighborhoods, just steps from Piedmont and a short walk to Montclair Village. Priced at $1.1M, 389 Somerset Road is a prime opportunity for investors and owner-occupiers looking to build long-term wealth. The 2,680 SF property features two 2BD/1BA and two 1BD/1BA units, with a 1BD unit delivered vacant at close—perfect for buyers who want to live onsite while earning rental income. The property also comes with onsite covered parking spots, a valuable perk for tenant convenience. Less than half a mile from Montclair Village, residents enjoy cafés, boutiques, and a farmers market, while nearby hiking trails, parks, and the Huckleberry Botanic Preserve offer a perfect nature retreat. With high rental demand, appreciation potential, and move-in-ready flexibility, this is an investment you don’t want to miss.
