From the Agent: "In 1960, Allan and Elsie Elliot retained James M. Molony to construct their dream home. Being an engineer, Mr. Elliot set out to design and build a showstopping midcentury atop a secluded setting. This property at 4944 Hood Drive is just that—a harmonious marriage of classic materials and modern sustainability. The current owners have painstakingly upgraded the home, returning it to its original color and gearing it toward  sustainability. The residence comes with a tankless water heater, a 220V EV charger, a three-zone HVAC, and a variable low-speed pool pump, among other features."
