However, because of declining health, retired engineer Grant Dawson is selling the B-Say-Tah property that has been in his family for 60 years and the 353-square-metre (3,800 square foot) house he designed and built on it 12 years ago. It’s listed with Royal LePage at $1.3 million. So what do you get for a million dollars?
