Just 1 minute from the Royal Palace, this striking BauHaus-inspired renovated flathouse offers a rare blend of industrial-chic design and traditional Cambodian charm in the heart of Daun Penh. Spanning the 3rd and 4th floors of a well-maintained, securely accessed building, the property enjoys a prime position on a lively street lined with shops, restaurants, and local markets — with the added drawcard of breathtaking views over Wat Ounalom pagoda and the surrounding city skyline.
Floor-to-ceiling steel-framed windows flood the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area with natural light, while a sleek marble-topped island and glass-partitioned bedrooms create a striking contemporary aesthetic. The apartment features two spacious bedrooms, each with its own marble-tiled en-suite bathroom, rainfall shower, and industrial-style glass walls that maintain privacy without sacrificing brightness. Ample built-in shelving and wardrobe space complete the sleeping quarters.
On the uppermost level, a relaxed Japanese-style lounge with floor cushions opens directly onto a private rooftop terrace — an idyllic spot for morning coffee or an evening drink while taking in panoramic pagoda and skyline views.
Fully furnished throughout with beds, tables, chairs, cooker, and fridge, this flathouse is ideal for a professional couple or small family. Its central Daun Penh location offers effortless access to the CBD, Lycée Descartes, the US and French embassies, and BKK1.
Additional features include direct private street access with secure entry doors, tasteful styling with sunblock curtains, expansive north and east-facing UV-protected windows, air-conditioning, hot water, and state utility rates for EDC and water.

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.
