About this House

"A SYMPHONY IN THE GARDENS"

The striking and elaborate design of 97 Continental Avenue is a masterful blend of America's earliest styles. The architectural elements illuminated in this home are a blend of Federal-style symmetry with a tasteful touch of Greek, Gothic, and Roman Revival.

Designed in 1930 and located on one of The United States' first planned communities, this Fine Estate sits firmly on almost half an acre of land. The wrap-around garden sheathes the home in a beautiful landscape that leads to an attached two-car garage.

Its design's integrity and charm have been meticulously looked for, freezing time and honoring the home's historic value. Passing through the main entrance you are welcomed by a beautiful foyer that boasts neoclassical features and an iconic stairwell that stands as the home's backbone and centerpiece. This nine-bedroom, seven-bathroom residence enjoys six fireplaces, a Butler's pantry, grand-living room, formal dining room, a mahogany-lined library, wine cellar, an enclosed sunroom, two levels of living area, and a comparable size lower level.

In 2007, Cottage Living Magazine named Forest Hills Gardens the "Best Community" to live in, exposing everyone outside of Queens to one of our boroughs best-kept secrets. With easy access to Manhattan, "The Gardens" are only 15 minutes away from Penn Station via the Long Island Rail Road and a short drive to two of NYC's most essential airports.
97 Continental Ave, Flushing, NY 11375 is a 9 bedroom, 7 bathroom, 6,500 sqft single-family home in Forest Hills, built in 1930. It last sold for $4,000,000 on Oct 29, 2021. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $4,585,000, with a rent estimate of $6,153/month.

Near mass public transit, very good school district, quite diverse but totally quiet and everybody is minding their own business. Banks and restaurants are 2 blocks away and almost eateries are almost endless as the lane of Austin St. goes. Department store across the street, fruit stand and farmers market every sunday morning."

It also has more trees and green accents than most of other neighborhoods in Queens. The playground located by Grand Central Expressway has a tennis court and athletic field with volleyball court and track among other parts. Also the neighborhood is a walking distance to Forest Park. Great area for kids. "
