Let’s pretend we win the $977 million Mega Millions jackpot on Friday — what should we buy?
Maybe we’d throw some cash at a $3.495 million home in Bellaire Estates. The English cottage at 2920 Simondale Dr. isn’t just pastoral — it’s historic.
The 4,129-sqft house was built in 1937 for I.C. and Jewel Brannon Parker. The longtime president of Fort Worth’s Pangburn Chocolates , I.C. Parker is credited with the invention of the Drumstick ice cream cone , but his wife Jewel granted the sweet treat its name after comparing it to a fried chicken leg.
Designed by architect Charles Dilbeck, the home has two bedrooms, two full- and two half-bathrooms + a rounded turret. The bright interior features white walls, natural woodwork, and vaulted ceilings. Plus, the 0.85-acre sloping lot descends past a pool into a tree-filled yard.
See it yourself during an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 23.
