Norah Jones' Swimming Pool Should Be Ready by Summer
Now that the brouhaha over her windows is dying down (the seven new windows are installed and by all accounts they look just fine), it’s time for the next stage of Norah Jones’ townhouse renovation: the backyard swimming pool.

Now that the brouhaha over her windows is dying down (the seven new windows are installed and by all accounts they look just fine), it’s time for the next stage of Norah Jones’ townhouse renovation: the backyard swimming pool. Back in January, a New York Post article had a brief reference to the fact that the famous singer was planning to build a pool, but provided no details; DOB filings also confirm that a pool is in the works, as does this pool installation truck parked on her block. Now we’ve got some color on the situation, courtesy of a tipster: If the intelligence is correct, and it sounds like it comes from a good source, we’re talking about a 8-by-30-foot in-ground pool with a hydraulic system that enables the pool to be covered and used as a terrace at the push of a button. This could be the start of a trend!
I can confirm this is true…I can see it from above. I am also pretty sure I will be seething with jealousy this summer while watching Nora and her celeb friends cool off.
This thread is tantamount to stalking NJ just because she’s famous. New Pool ? good for her.
Who gives a sh**?
In London all the really cool kids (and rock stars) have swimming pools in the cellar.
They sell a kit for an inflatable dome for those kinds of pools.
Fortuntely, Norah is filthy rich and can afford to drop mucho cheddar on something she’ll never use.
I hope she keeps putting crazy stuff in her back yard just to piss people off. Room for a tennis court back there?
“No one is here in the summer anyway. Even I split every single weekend.”
…I would like to know where *rob* is summering too.
I thought he was the patron saint of the 40oz/bodega/brooklyn summer in the city crowd.
If it’s heated, she could use it year round.
she may need the pool for exercise or physical therapy but she may be forgetting NYC’s climate and how she will only be able to use it a few months out of the year. But the next project may be a greenhouse enclosure for the new pool.
I’m sure that’s what she has in mind.
