Brooklyn "Feels Like Home" for Norah Jones

0209norahhouse.jpg Her punk band would have likely had her waiting in the breadlines with the rest of us, but it's safe to say that since its release, Norah Jones has made a pretty penny off her 2002 debut album Come Away With Me. So a little (epic) financial crisis certainly isn't going to stop her from throwing down millions on some Brooklyn real estate. Brownstoner reports on the Cobble Hill home, a 4,100-square-foot circa 1843 townhouse that Jones paid $4,990,000 for (allegedly barely below the asking price).The site also notes the "killer" parlor floors and the not-so-killer nouveau-Tuscany vibe in the kitchen—which actually sort of screams "adult contemporary"!
