3619-21 Burgundy and 900 Independence St

Welcome to Bywater, where the houses tell stories, the streets hum with creativity, and this historic triplex sits right at the center of it all. Originally a neighborhood pharmacy and later transformed into a jazz recording studio, this property has soaked up decades of New Orleans sound, culture, and soul. Some of the interviews recorded inside even made their way to the Smithsonian, which feels exactly right for a building with this kind of presence.

Three Units, Endless Possibility

With 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a half bath spread across 3,788 square feet, this triplex offers flexibility for owner-occupants, investors, multi-generational living, or anyone who wants a little extra room to dream.

Each unit enjoys its own entrance behind a secure gated landing, and yes, there’s even a two-bay garage (a rarity in Bywater).

The Showstopper: The Upstairs Unit

Head up and you’re greeted by soaring 12-foot ceilings, heart-of-pine floors, and historic architectural touches whispering “stay a while.” The parlor and den each feature gorgeous double fireplaces with ornate mantles and detailed molding that feels lovingly preserved.

But the encore?
A nearly 1,000-square-foot rebuilt rooftop deck with pergola. A true Bywater dreamscape. Think: sunset hangs, backyard-bar vibes, space for long-table dinners under café lights… the kind of outdoor living everyone is craving.

The upstairs kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances, and tile flooring, and the flexible layout gives you all the room you need to entertain.

Two Downstairs Units

Below, you’ll find:

• One 2-bedroom / 1-bath unit
• One 1-bedroom / 1-bath unit

Both offer private outdoor spaces, 9-foot ceilings (with 12-foot originals above), and month-to-month tenants with below-market rents. These units have window A/C and some varying conditions, giving a future owner opportunities to add value.

All units have separately metered electricity, while water and gas are combined.

Spectacular Outdoor Space

Bywater living is all about breezy porches, tucked-away courtyards, and those top-floor views you don’t forget. This triplex delivers:

• A private backyard space for each downstairs unit
• That epic rooftop deck for the upstairs
• Room to grow, gather, unwind, or amplify your creative side

A Building With Stories… and the Potential for Many More

From a local pharmacy serving the neighborhood to a recording studio capturing the beat of the city, this building has lived several lives. Now it’s ready for the next steward who values history, character, and the magic of Bywater.
