The early 1900s Kew property, Harelands has been listed through RT Edgar with $7 million-plus expectations.

The 11 bedroom, six bathroom trophy home at 5 Willsmere Road has been impressing since its 1913 Home & Garden Beautiful magazine feature showcasing beautiful homes and gardens.

The Melbourne Queen Anne house was designed by the leading architectural firm of Ussher and Kemp for W.H. Davies.

While previously known as Blamey House, it lost its lustre as a Legacy hostel from the 1950s to the 1980s, but it has been restored over the past three decades.

Offers are due on the 2780 sq m corner property by September 4. 

It last sold at $539,000 in 1985.
