The developers got $5.65 million for the second of two townhouses they built on speculation in a duplex on Sunset Avenue in Palm Beach.

John Flynn Sr., John R. Flynn Jr. and Leona Flynn, who finished building the Georgian-style duplex in 2015, sold the townhouse at 180 Sunset Avenue to a Palm Beach couple.

The Flynns sold the other townhouse, at 176 Sunset Avenue, last May for $5.9 million to an affiliate of Franklin Templeton Investments, headed by billionaire and Palm Beach resident Charles Johnson.
