Tucked down a quiet, tree-lined laneway just a few minutes’ walk from Bassac Lane, this spacious 1-bedroom apartment for rent offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and location in the heart of Phnom Penh. Spanning 70 square metres on a private first-floor unit, it combines bold red-and-white checkerboard flooring, exposed brick feature walls, and polished concrete finishes for a home that feels genuinely different from the standard condo rental so common across the city.
Step through the sliding glass doors onto a private balcony framed by mature mango trees, a genuinely rare find for an apartment this close to BKK 1. The open-plan living and dining area flows straight into a full kitchen fitted with a gas stove, oven, fridge, and generous granite bench space, ideal for anyone who actually likes to cook rather than just reheat takeaway. A polished wood coffee table and a deep charcoal L-shaped sofa complete a living room that is as easy to relax in as it is to entertain friends in, with the whole space warmed by a run of pendant lights over the kitchen counter.
The bedroom carries through the same character-style theme, with a king bed, an exposed brick feature wall, a freestanding lamp, and its own sliding door out to a second private balcony overlooking a leafy courtyard, genuinely restful for a property this central. Built-in wardrobe space keeps the room clutter-free, while the ensuite bathroom stays simple and modern, with a walk-in concrete-finished shower, a vessel sink set into a stone counter, a wall mirror, and plenty of shelf storage for toiletries.
Practical details matter just as much as style. This apartment comes with a secured gate and CCTV coverage for genuine peace of mind, a dedicated motor-parking space, and, unusually for the area, is pet friendly. Fully furnished from day one, it is genuinely move-in ready: internet and cable TV are already connected, so there is nothing to set up and nothing to chase before you unpack.
Being on the first floor of a walk-up building with no lift, it suits anyone happy to trade a single flight of stairs for a leafy outlook, a quieter street, and a real sense of privacy that’s hard to find in the city’s high-rise developments. For young professionals, couples, or downsizers who want genuine architectural character over cookie-cutter design, without giving up the convenience of a central location close to cafes, restaurants, and gyms, this apartment for rent is a standout option.
Location is really what sets this apartment apart, with ‘the lane’ putting you within easy reach of some of the city’s best coffee shops, riverside restaurants, gyms, and co-working spaces, while the laneway setting keeps traffic noise and street hassle at arm’s length. It is the kind of pocket of that long-term expats and locals alike tend to hold onto once they find it, precisely because it is so hard to come by.
Available now, this apartment will not stay on the market long in such a sought-after pocket of Phnom Penh, so book a viewing today.
