my example of $2^\lambda$ is false

We say that a $T_2$-space $(X,\tau)$ has homeomorphic open sets if every non-empty open set $U\subseteq X$ endowed with the subspace topology is homeomorphic to $(X,\tau)$.

The rationals with the Euclidean topology are an example of a space with homemorphic open sets, as well as $\{0,1\}^\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is an infinite cardinal and $\{0,1\}$ carries the discrete topology.

Is there for every infinite cardinal $\kappa$ a space of cardinality $\kappa$ with homeomorphic open sets?


Edit. Apologies for falsely claiming that $\{0,1\}^\lambda$ is a space with homeomorphic open sets - Joel David Hamkins' comment below gives an argument refuting my claim.
