Few q renovated flathouse for sale in 7 Makara can claim the architectural pedigree of this exceptional property. Occupying the third and fourth floors of a Vann Molyvann-designed building — one of Cambodia’s most celebrated modernist architects — this four-bedroom residence has been thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living while honouring the building’s mid-century character.
The property is configured as two self-contained apartments across the two floors, each fully functional independently — ideal for an owner-occupier who wishes to live in one while leasing the other, or for a multi-generational family seeking separate living quarters under one roof. Alternatively, the two apartments can be combined to create one expansive, free-flowing home in the heart of the city.
The interiors reveal a designer’s sensibility at every turn. Soaring ceilings, elegant curved walls, and glass block features draw natural light deep into the open-plan living spaces, where warm timber furnishings, ambient wall sconces, and antique accents create an atmosphere that feels both considered and genuinely livable. The building’s distinctive curved stairwell — clad in original checkerboard tiles and flooded with light — is an architectural feature in its own right.
The kitchen is fitted to Western standard, with deep-blue gloss cabinetry, a three-ring gas burner, double sink, extractor, low-energy refrigerator, and washing machine. All four bedrooms are generously proportioned, each with its own en-suite bathroom fitted with vessel basins, rainfall showers, and quality tiling. Four-poster beds and carefully chosen furnishings lend the bedrooms a boutique hotel feel.
Cross breezes, natural light, and impressive views across Orussey Market and the Phnom Penh skyline add to the property’s appeal. Motorcycle parking is available at street level, with secure car parking conveniently located nearby. Direct street access via a wide, well-maintained building staircase completes the picture.
Whether you’re an owner-occupier seeking something genuinely distinctive in central Phnom Penh, or an investor looking for a high-quality short-term rental asset, this Molyvann building flathouse is a rare opportunity not to be overlooked.

About 7 Makara:
Prampi Makara (7 January) named after the day Kampuchean Armed Forces and Vietnamese troops liberated the capital in 1979. It is literally the centre of Phnom Penh. A web of narrow streets with every shop imaginable, all seemingly headed towards Orussey Market. The real Phnom Penh, beating heart, raw flesh where shop owners and stall holder ply their trades. A look up and you will see the pre-Pol Pot face of the city: the Khmer take on Modernism.
Prampi Makara is the smallest district in Phnom Penh, divided into 8 Sangkats and 33 Kroms. It is only 2.2 km² but in 1998 had 96,192 inhabitants, making it one of the most densely populated areas. And yet, it is often overlooked.
