A renovation transformed a 1952 home at 245 Barton Ave. in Palm Beach by reworking the layout for modern living. The house has sold for $15.9 million.

The Georgian-style house at 245 Barton Ave. was sold by Elizabeth “Betsy” Sorrel, a Sotheby’s International Realty agent who has renovated and sold six other Palm Beach homes since 2000.

The modified Georgian-style house is a town landmark, meaning that its exterior walls can’t be altered without the permission of the permission of the Palm Beach Landmarks Preservation Commission.
