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"!
