Commission to consider purchase of former Klauber property

The Longboat Key Town Commission will consider the purchase of the property at 4110 Gulf of Mexico Drive for $452,500 at its Nov. 7 regular meeting.

The property was owned by longtime Colony Beach & Tennis Resort owner Dr. Murray “Murf” Klauber’s Two Huts Inc. until September, when First Federal Bank of Florida received the certificate of title following a foreclosure judgment.

The property is adjacent to Bayfront Park Recreation Center.

The Sarasota County Property Appraiser’s website sarasotaproperty.net, states that a 1,332-square-foot residence with three bedrooms and three bathrooms is located on the property. According to the website, the just market value of the property is $518,500. It last sold for $329,000 in January 1998.

Approval of the purchase will require the affirmative votes of at least five commissioners.
