Just one minute from the riverfront in the heart of Daun Penh, this exceptional renovated flathouse suite of three offers a rare opportunity to own beautifully renovated and characterful homes in one of Phnom Penh’s most sought-after central locations. Steps from the Royal Palace, National Museum, and Riverside’s vibrant mix of restaurants, shops, and local markets, this property combines heritage charm with modern comfort.
Occupying the 2nd and 3rd floors of a building with its own private, secure entrance, the three self-contained 1-bedroom apartments have been thoughtfully renovated by an Australian builder to international electrical standards, preserving original colonial details like exposed timber-beamed ceilings alongside contemporary finishes.
Title 1 (2nd floor, $149,500 combined) includes a 71 sqm front apartment with soaring ceilings, a light-filled living area, raised sleeping platform, modern kitchen, and walk-in shower bathroom with washing machine — plus a compact 42 sqm rear apartment featuring a mezzanine bedroom, kitchenette, and private balcony/drying area.
Title 2 (3rd floor, $109,500) is a 93 sqm French-Colonial styled apartment with a spacious high-ceiling living room opening onto a balcony, galley kitchen, dedicated office/study, and an en-suite double bedroom with walk-in shower. Roof access on this top floor offers future potential for a rooftop terrace or additional story.
All three are partially furnished, air-conditioned throughout (seven new or recently serviced units), fitted with hot water systems, and finished with tasteful décor and soft furnishings available separately.
Available individually by title or combined at $220,000 — a 15% saving — this Daun Penh property is ideal for owner-occupiers seeking central Phnom Penh living, or investors targeting strong rental demand in one of the city’s most walkable, culturally rich riverside districts.

Daun Penh: the real downtown
Day and night Riverside, Daun Penh, is busy. It is probably the real downtown Phnom Penh where the oldest parts of the city are located.
I am referring to Wat Phnom, Phsar Chas, Phsar Kandal, Chey Chumneas and Chaktomuk and the Royal Palace and National Museum of course!
Preah Sisowath (honoring King Sisowath 1904 to 1927 reign) is the avenue / boulevard running along the riverfront.
It starts at the Buddhist Institute near Sothearos Boulevard, then continues north to the Japanese Bridge where it becomes National Road 6 leading north to Battambang.
Generations of days gone by have left their footprints from Angkor kings to French colonists to UN troops.
Riverside witnesses the confluence of the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac rivers and where the Water Festival is best viewed each November.
It is always stunning, especially at sunup and sundown.
A personal reflection on Riverside
Street 172 is punctuated with $3 massage joints and bars occupied by grey faces framed with light grey hair.
Yet, just around the corner, Street 178 is now arguably the rising art gallery district of Phnom Penh with the University of Fine Arts a stone’s throw away.
This is the dichotomy of Riverside and the attraction of opposites that makes it such an interesting place!
Friends Café has made a bold statement and the Mansion House seems to be waiting for reincarnation.
Now the Hyatt has opened its doors to the Jet set, it may well be a different designer-schmick precinct to what is currently now.
Rents will rise with the inevitable escalation of land values and the ROI of each vendor’s patch will become more and more critical as the clock ticks.
