A FAMILY in Singapore nearly sold their home in Strathmore Avenue for $950,000 - possibly the highest amount fetched for an HDB flat.

But the deal did not go through.

The buyer could not get a bank loan for the rare penthouse valued at $875,000.

The Queenstown flat joins another HDB flat which recently made the news for its equally lofty price.

The property - a rooftop maisonette in Bishan Street 24 - reportedly drew an offer of $900,000 from a buyer.

The Strathmore Avenue penthouse on the 24th floor boasts an unobstructed view of the estate. It is a five-minute walk from Queenstown MRT station.
