jones-truck-032310.jpgNow 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!

  1. love! makes you wonder how money she has? Like when Lenny Kravitz was looking at $50mm houses back in the day. I mean, I know you have money, but this muc money?!

  2. Nothing streamlined about it when one has any kind of boobage.

    Not that I’ve ever noticed Ms. Jones’ rack or anything.

    (why is that iconic picture from the cover of Jaws suddenly spring to mind? Brrrrrrr)

  3. I don’t know BSD. Lovely thought, but sounds to me like a lap pool. Ever tried to swim laps in any serious way wearing a bikini? Doesn’t work. Trust me.

  4. “the former beverage building converted to a wallpaper design studio, factory, and living space on Pacific Street between Boerum Place and Court”

    I looked at an apartment a couple of weeks ago overlooking the back of that building. Very cool. Amazing space.

  5. And speaking of pools, I believe there’s one on top of the former beverage building converted to a wallpaper design studio, factory, and living space on Pacific Street between Boerum Place and Court. I saw a crane lifting plantings up there, and the crane guy told me about it. We agreed: it’s good to be king.

    If anyone could get photos of that, boy that would be fun to see.
