Hope built into every brick: Home for a cure returns in 2025

A bold, double-storey home in Mickleham is doing more than turning heads– it’s turning hope into reality for families facing the unimaginable.

Construction is well underway on the 2025 Home for a Cure, a collaboration between Hneley and Satterley Property group.

This year’s home, the Lennon 355-D38 from Henley’s Mainvue collection, will be auctioned off with every cent of the sale going to My Room Children’s Cancer Charity–a cause supporting families and funding vital research into childhood cancer.

Set on a 412m block donated by Satterley in the Botanical estate, the home has equal parts heart and high design.

With five bedrooms (each with an en suite), a guest suite, open-plan living, a butler’s pantry, theatre, alfresco and a grand architectural void, it’s a family haven built with both style and substance also boasts a 7-star energy rating, double-glazed windows and energy-efficient appliances.

But behind every wall and window is a purpose far greater than design. stance.

The initiative builds on Henley’s 30-year tradition of charity homes, with last year’s project raising $1 million.

Since 1993, Henley has donated 81 homes, helping raise nearly $40 million for community causes.

“The 2025 Home for a Cure is a testament to the power of community, generosity, and hope,” chief executive of My Room, Margaret Zita said.

“This home represents a symbol of support for families navigating the unimaginable.”

One such family is that of six-year-old Kruz, diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of leukaemia.

After relapsing in September, he now awaits a clinical trial.

“Every act of support fuels our determination and gives us hope in the face of adversity,” his mother Lauren said.

“We hold on to the hope that research, like the work being supported by the 2025 Home for a Cure, will help Kruz.”
