Village townhouse with garage, grass roofs sells for $13M

A West Village townhouse at 13 Leroy Street with a garage, skyloft and mutliple grassy roofs has sold for $13.82 million. The seller, Keith G. Rubenstein, is a founder of Somerset Partners, a real estate investment fund. He bought the four-story home for just under $9 million in early 2006 from Andrew Rasiej, who founded Irving Plaza and sold Digital Club Network. The former city public advocate candidate bought the property, which is west of Bleecker Street, for less than $2 million only three years prior and hired Turett Collaborative Architects to transform it. Actor Will Smith lived here briefly. The buyer was not listed on the deed. TRD
