Tucked in the heart of Daun Penh near Phnom Penh’s riverside district, this beautifully renovated duplex apartment offers a rare and unusual configuration for central Phnom Penh: a nearly square 11m x 10m floor plan with openings on all four sides, meaning no neighboring buildings overlook the property. The result is exceptional natural light, cross-ventilation, and a genuine sense of privacy that’s hard to find this close to the city center.
The apartment overlooks the leafy gardens of the French Institute, with the added convenience of easy access to its library and cinema — a wonderful perk for families with children, or anyone who appreciates culture and greenery right on their doorstep.
Fully renovated throughout, the duplex spans 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large private office, a generous dining room, and an artist’s-studio-style fully equipped kitchen complete with dishwasher. A standout feature is the expansive roof terrace, ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the surrounding city skyline and treetop views.
The property is partially furnished and can be leased either furnished or unfurnished, while the kitchen and bathrooms remain fully equipped regardless. Comfort is prioritized year-round with a brand-new large-capacity hot water tank and air conditioning in every room, plus building-wide Wi-Fi coverage.
Security and efficiency have been carefully considered: all windows are fitted with security glass for a quieter home and reduced energy bills, and the property includes both internal and external CCTV monitoring along with a fingerprint-code main entry door.
Parking is available on the street, at the nearby French Institute, or in the surrounding area. Additional services such as cleaning, maid service, pest control, and maintenance can be arranged on request.
Rent is negotiable depending on lease length and furnishing preference. Minimum lease term is 12 months with a 2-month deposit.

Daun Penh: the real downtown
Day and night Riverside, Daun Penh, is busy and 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.
But now Riverside witnesses the confluence of the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac rivers where the Water Festival is best viewed each November.
It is always stunning, especially at sunup and sundown.
A personal reflection on Riverside, Daun Penh
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.
