The Edgewater Clubhouse
The inspiration for the clubhouse finds its origins in the Governor's Palace and Courthouse at Colonial Williamsburg. It is a reduced scale that contains architectural elements such as a balustrade, entry portico, side porches, highly visible lantern, and quality brick work reminiscent of Monticello.
Balconies are located on three sides of the second floor and all four sides of the cupola, which is reached through an inside, winding stairway. An outside stairway leads to the balcony so swimmers can ascend to it without going through the pool house. Large chimneys are located on either side of the house and provide porch grills for easy outside cooking, regardless of the direction of the wind.
The interior comprises a wide gathering room, modern kitchen, ladies' and men's dressing rooms with two showers, private bathrooms, and storage space.
The Pool
The 60-foot, 50,000-gallon pool was patterned after one on St. Bart's Island and reflects the simple grandeur of Tuscan architecture. An underwater bench allows swimmers to relax and observe the Bay. The spacious concrete deck provides traditional pool furniture while four gliders face toward the bay.
