It feels like home to her.
When an adorable Cobble Hill carriage household once featured in the film “Eat, Pray, Like” sold for $ 6.25 million in May, real estate speculators wanted nothing more than to know who’d snapped it up.
Well, mystery solved.
The lucky new title-holder of the charming material goods, at 172 Pacific St., is none other than “Feels like Home to Me” singer Norah Jones, who snagged it under the guise of an LLC, sources tell the Day after day News.

The deal marks a restore to brownstone Brooklyn for the “Come Away with Me” crooner, who reportedly lived for a fleeting stint at Cooper Sq. near Manhattan’s Astor Place before selling her pad there for $ 6.7 million in 2013. Jones also still owns a townhouse around the corner from her new digs at 166 Amity St., which she bought for $ 4.9 million in 2009.
The new household, while not much larger than her Amity St. material goods, has heaps more charm.
A former 1840s firehouse, it has large exposed wood beams, a wood-burning fireplace, plank floors and even a glassed-in greenhouse where Jones can grow her own vegetables.

The singer, who is mom to a one-year-ancient son, has now filed plans to convert the material goods, which was previously split into two break residential units, into one large private mansion.
The identity of Jones’ partner, a musician who reportedly fathered her son, remains a mystery. The notoriously private singer has declined to name him in interviews.
Listing broker Deborah Rieders of the Corcoran Group declined to note on the sale.
