In order to answer that, we first have to agree on where 'space' begins.

One possibility is to define the 'edge' of space as the altitude where the atmosphere becomes
thin enough so that an object can orbit the earth, at least a few times, without being dragged
out of orbit by air resistance.

If you'll accept that definition for the 'beginning' of space, then the answer is: about 160 miles
above any point on the surface of the earth.
