in $1.075m sale

Yarmouth Port, MA Agent Aaron Webb, owner and operator of the Daily Paper, has orchestrated the sale of Jack’s Outback II for its asking price of $1.075 million.

The property further comprises an additional one-bedroom, one-bath owner’s quarters on the second floor.

The retirement announcement from Baratta on Facebook marked the end of an era. She expressed gratitude to patrons, supporters, and friends: “My emotions are all over the board, but most of all I’m grateful to all of you for your patronage, your support, and your friendship. The past 20 years have been successful, fun, hard at times, but most of all full of love. Thank you for being a part of it.” The post resonated with loyal customers, who flooded the comments section with best wishes and expressions of support.

Baratta, was represented by Samuel Crowell, Esq., ensuring a fair negotiation process. On the buyer’s side, Luis Calle and family were represented by Steven Pizzuti, Esq., who navigated the legal intricacies of the transaction.

The baton has been passed to Luis Calle and family, who have not only acquired the property but also expressed their commitment to maintaining Jack’s Outback II’s cherished traditions.
