From the moment you arrive at 4970 Sound View Drive, the architecture makes an impression. Double front porches framed by five sets of French doors and a mahogany front door establish the character of this custom home — one that balances refined detail with a genuinely livable ease throughout.

Inside, 10-foot ceilings on the main level and coffered ceilings in the living room create a generous sense of space. Oversized Palladian windows fill the room with natural light and tranquil pond views, and when the doors are open, the breeze moves freely through. The living room opens directly to the home's standout feature: an L-shaped screened porch that stretches along the back of the home, overlooking the pond with peek-a-boo views of The Sound. It's the kind of space that gets used every day.

Just off the entry, a room with built-ins and French doors opening to the porch offers flexibility as a home office, reading room, or additional gathering space. The dining room carries the home's attention to detail with a tray ceiling, millwork, and French doors that maintain the indoor-outdoor connection. It flows naturally into the remodeled kitchen, which features a butler's pantry, ample storage, and banquette seating that adds warmth to the space.

The main-level primary suite includes a private sitting room and remote-controlled shades. A three-stop elevator — beginning in the three-car garage — connects all levels with ease. Upstairs, a landing with porch access leads to four spacious bedrooms, two of which have their own porch access, along with updated bathrooms. An expansive storage area and a third-floor bonus space offer additional flexibility for a home office, media room, or whatever the next chapter calls for.

Recent updates include a new roof (2024), two new HVAC systems with blue light air handlers and ecobee thermostats (2022 and 2024), a new tankless water heater (2025), a new sprinkler pump (2025), newly designed landscaping, a redesigned staircase with custom wallpaper, custom wallpaper in the powder room, and new carpet in all bedrooms (2023).

This is a home that has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully updated — and it shows. Schedule your private tour of 4970 Sound View Drive today.
