Set on the 5th floor of a beautifully preserved colonial-era building in Phsar Kandal I, Daun Penh, this fully furnished and tastefully renovated apartment offers a rare combination of heritage character and modern comfort in the heart of Phnom Penh’s coveted Riverfront district.
The apartment opens onto a bright, open-plan living and dining area, flowing seamlessly out to a spacious private terrace with sweeping, uninterrupted views of the Tonle Sap River — an idyllic spot to take in the sunrise each morning or unwind in the evening breeze. Rich Cambodian hardwood parquet flooring runs throughout, paired with authentic Art Deco furnishings that lend the home a warm, timeless sophistication rarely found in the city’s more modern developments.
The flexible layout includes two en-suite bedrooms, each thoughtfully finished with premium fixtures, alongside a dedicated home office that can easily convert back into a third bedroom to suit a growing family or visiting guests. The fully renovated kitchen features designer cabinetry, sleek countertops, and quality appliances, while the bathrooms showcase the same high-end finish found throughout the residence.
Practical comforts include split-unit air conditioning in the bedrooms and living areas, ceiling fans, and an in-unit washing machine. The building itself retains striking original architectural details — ornate tiled flooring, a sweeping stone staircase, and classic wooden doors — alongside modern conveniences including secure gated entry, lift access, and a manned lobby, ensuring both charm and peace of mind.
Ideally located within walking distance of the riverside promenade, boutique cafés, restaurants, and Phnom Penh’s historic core, this property offers residents a genuinely peaceful, private residential atmosphere while remaining moments from the city’s best dining and cultural attractions.
A rare opportunity to secure a spacious, character-filled riverfront home in one of Phnom Penh’s most desirable and enduring addresses.

About nearby Independence Monument from Wikipedia:
“… Independence Monument was built in 1958 to memorialize Cambodia’s independence from France in 1953.
It stands on a roundabout in the intersection of Norodom Boulevard and Sihanouk Boulevard in the centre of the city.
It is in the form of a lotus-shaped stupa, of the style seen at the temple at Banteay Srei and other Khmer historical sites.
The Independence Monument was designed by the Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann, who was “personally selected and instructed” by Prince Norodom Sihanouk on how it should look like, combining ‘the religious and the secular’.
It stands 37 metres tall…”
Riverside, Daun Penh: the real downtown
Riverside, the real downtown is the old city – Wat Phnom, Old Market, Kandal Market and Chaktomuk.
Many generations’ footprints are here – Angkor kings, French colonists and UN troops.
It is where the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac rivers meet and where the Water Festival takes place each year.
Riverside is always stunning especially at sunrise and sunset. Day and night it is busy and a popular tourist spot.
Sisowath Quay (in honor of King Sisowath) is the riverfront road. It starts at the Buddhist Institute and continues north to Japanese Bridge.
There it becomes Road 5 and out of the city onto the fascinating towns of Kampong Chhnang, Pursat, Battambang and Siem Reap – each with its own genuine and unique charm.
