Sylvia Cherry and I love what we do as expert Realtors for Coconut Grove. The "stuff" that makes Coconut Grove the "Grove" jumps out at us in the course of our business and it makes our hearts sing. We have a pending contract on the family home on Poinciana in Coconut Grove of iconic architect Lester Collins Pancoast. His GREAT grandfather Collins was an early developer on the Beach (Collins as in Collins Avenue) and his wife Helene was the grand-daughter of David Fairchild. Pancoast focussed on integrating the outside with the inside and gained fame as a landscape architect. The family home pictured is a Japanese influenced house with thickly planted, but never crowded gardens. This view is through the livingroom to the reflecting pool, patio and gardens. He passed away in 2003 and his widow Helene recently.
