This South End single-family offers the space to create a secret garden while peering at the hidden grounds of Montgomery Park for inspiration. 

The renovated home at 147 West Canton St in Boston’s South End is “a hybrid of modern and Boston classic design,” according to the listing agent, Mark Doherty of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. The double-parlor living room — with its colorful ceiling, modern chandelier, gold fireplace mirror, and elaborate molding — is a prime example.

The 3,632-square-foot property has three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, one half bathroom, and a $5,175,000 price tag.

On the lowest level, the home offers a wine cellar, a full bath, and a family/media room that opens to the private patio, garden, and the park.

The street level, which can be accessed via a doorway under the front stoop, features the mudroom, dining room, half bath, and kitchen, which is brimming with light thanks to a wall of glass doors that open onto a private deck overlooking the park. This space also offers built-in banquette seating, a floating island, and a chalkboard wall. 

The parlor-level foyer opens into a living room with a chandelier akin to a halo, giving the space even more character. This floor also offers a den with a fireplace.

The third floor holds two bedrooms — one with light-blue wallpaper teeming with fish, the other with octopus tentacles — and a bathroom. 

The master suite comprises the entire fourth floor. The bedroom boasts a walk-in closet, a laundry room, and glass doors to a balcony with Boston skyline views. The master bath has a walk-in shower and marble countertops.

Other highlights of the home include an elevator, custom closet space, and hardwood floors. 

Two rental parking spaces are transferable, according to the listing.
