It’s a house with a lot of hope invested into it.
Number 12 Joyce Street, Point Cook – built by Fairhaven Homes and a group of tradespeople and suppliers – will be auctioned next month to raise funds for Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision.
The charity, which raises money for research into Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes, is named in honour of Maddie Riewoldt, who died at age 26 of the illness.
Maddie’s brothers include Alex Riewoldt and former St Kilda AFL player Nick Riewoldt, who is now chair of the charity’s board.
Nick said that he and Alex were “absolutely thrilled and very grateful” to everyone involved in putting the auction together, including Fairhaven Homes and land developer Satterley.
“The funds that we will be able to generate from the sale of this amazing home will help significantly,” Nick said.
Fairhaven Homes’ sales and marketing general manager Jake Munday said the idea of a charity house was first discussed six years ago.
Number 12 Joyce Street is a four-bedroom, fully-furnished house and land package in Satterley’s Upper Point Cook estate. It will be auctioned at noon on Saturday, July 6.
The day will include a footy clinic and meet/greet with Nick Riewoldt, Hawthorn’s Jaeger O’Meara and Collingwood’s Mason Cox from 10-11am. Harrison Craig from The Voice will perform at 11.30am, there’ll also be kids’ activities, food trucks and coffee van.
