First, we need to add up the digits in his phone number to see what the digits in his address add up to. $2+7+1+3+1+4+7=25$.

For his address, we want to find the largest four-digit number whose digits add up to $25$. Because we want a large number, the leftmost digit should be as large as possible, so the first digit should be $9$. The next three digits, therefore, must add up to $25-9=16$. Since the digits must be unique, the next digit cannot be $9$, so we will go for the next largest number, $8$. The final two digits must add up to $16-8=8$, and since neither can be $8$, the next largest possibility for those numbers is $7$ and $1$. Therefore, Sam's address is $\boxed{9871}$.
