About Us
Edgefield is a well-appointed Edwardian-era home providing comfortable accommodations near Cooperstown and Glimmerglass Opera in the historic district of Sharon Springs, New York.
Edgefield's five upstairs bedrooms [queen or twin beds] have white coverlets,
hand-ironed cotton sheets and monogrammed towels (whose monogram, we're not always sure!) Each guestroom has a private black-and-white tiled bath. A large verdanda across the back of the house overlooks nine wooded acres.
Sharon Springs is a quaint and quirky village with interesting shops, restaurants, and historic markers along Main Street. Sharon Springs is home to the Fabulous Beekman Boys, including the Beekman 1802 Mercantile in the Roseboro Hotel – just down the street from Edgefield.
The original part of Edgefield was constructed in the 1860s and a wing added during the 1880s. The house was a small summer hotel during the later years of the 19th Century, known as the Curry House. When it returned to a private summer house in the early 20th Century, a large front porch was removed and the façade altered in the Greek Revival style.
Nine-foot-tall clear leaded glass windows and doors and a small entry porch were added. From 1916 to 1976 the residence was the third in a family compound of summer houses; the other two still stand across the street.
Edgefield is decorated throughout in English Country house style. Patterns abound! A life-long collection of antique English and American furniture; paintings, water colors and drawings; lamps and Oriental rugs, as well as small silver boxes, baskets and candlesticks, complement the Edwardian architecture of the house.
