Tucked away from street level and completely invisible to passersby, this beautifully renovated flathouse apartment is a hidden gem in the heart of Daun Penh, central Phnom Penh. A clean, light-filled stairwell leads up to a home of genuine design finesse — the kind of thoughtful renovation that’s hard to find in the city’s older buildings.
Inside, soaring high ceilings and an open-plan layout let air and light move freely through the living area, kitchen, and dining space. The kitchen is a real highlight: sleek blue cabinetry, black granite counters, mosaic tile splashbacks, and full-size Western appliances including a gas range, oven, and fridge — a genuine pleasure to cook in. A mezzanine loft adds extra character and space above the checkerboard-tiled living area, furnished with a comfortable rattan sofa and colourful, curated interior styling throughout.
The single bedroom is generously proportioned, with rich hardwood flooring, A/C, a workspace desk, and glass doors opening directly onto your own private rooftop terrace — a rare and wonderful feature for an apartment this central. The terrace itself, framed by a rustic bamboo-pole fence and dotted with potted plants, is perfect for morning coffee, evening drinks, or simply unwinding above the rooftops of Daun Penh. The renovated bathroom continues the stylish theme, with a terrazzo vanity, hot water shower, and elegant tiled flooring.
Location-wise, this flathouse can’t be beaten — a short walk to the riverfront yet tucked into a quiet residential pocket away from the noise of the bar district.

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, 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.
