Quay 91

Welcome to the monumental building "Vanouds De Spaerpot" on the old harbor of Veere

On the picturesque Kaai of historic Veere stands one of the most characteristic homes in the city: the national monument "Vanouds De Spaerpot", dating from around 1582. Behind the imposing stepped gable, the monumental front door with dolphin knocker, and the centuries-old facade lies an exceptional residence where history, atmosphere, and living comfort come together in a unique way.

From the very first moment, the rich history stands out. Authentic details such as heavy oak beams, spice cabinets, Delft blue tiles, the vaulted cellar, fireplaces and beautifully preserved woodwork tell the story of more than four centuries of living on the Veerse haven. At the same time, the carefully executed restoration and modern amenities provide a comfortable and versatile family home of nearly 200 m² of living space.

The house offers a stunning view of the old harbor, the city walls, the Veerse Meer and the imposing Grote Kerk of Veere. Inside, the many vistas, the warm colors inspired by Monet's house in Giverny and the atmospheric finish create a sense of space, light and security.

An absolute highlight is the exceptionally large, fully walled English garden facing south. Thanks to the former merger of two plots, De Spaerpot has a rare spacious side garden that extends over the entire length of the house. Here you can enjoy in complete privacy blooming roses, grapevines, quince trees, a majestic old fig tree, and several sunny and sheltered terraces.

The multifunctional front house of the residence, currently set up as a luxury B&B suite with its own facilities, offers numerous possibilities for guest accommodation, day care, home practice, office, or even a small-scale shop. Thus, De Spaerpot combines not only an exceptional living quality, but also a special degree of flexibility.

Living at Kaai 91 means living in one of the most beautiful places in Zeeland: quietly located on the atmospheric part of the harbor, just a few minutes' walk from the Veerse beach, the marina, cozy restaurants and terraces. A unique opportunity to become the owner of a monumental piece of Veerse history, where every room tells a story and every view remains fascinating.

Layout Ground floor: entrance with an elegant frame and the inscription "Vanouds De Spaerpot", leading to the hallway that provides access to the corridor, the B&B suite, the cellar, the kitchen-living room, the toilet and various storage and storage spaces.

In the former shop section – a destination that can be reinstated if desired – a romantic B&B suite has been realized with a view of the old harbor of Veere. The front part has a seating/dining area with a high beamed ceiling. The rear part is equipped with a fold-away king-size double bed and a compact kitchen, beautifully integrated into a cabinet. Adjacent are a renovated bathroom and a separate toilet. Thanks to the multifunctional layout, this space can serve excellently as a B&B, but also as a spacious living room, dining room, reception room, meeting room or shop.

The back house with a living kitchen forms the heart of the home. This is where life is lived, cooked, and enjoyed. The movable kitchen island with a generous induction cooktop and integrated extraction makes the space particularly flexible. The cabinet wall includes workspace, a washing area, dishwasher, a built-in refrigerator, and practical storage space. In the morning, the first sunrays beautifully stream in through the sliding garden doors, creating a wonderful connection between indoors and outdoors. In the winter months, the open fireplace provides warmth and atmosphere.

The second original kitchen now serves as a scullery and provides space for the utility connections and extra storage space. Under the stove in the scullery there is room for a large stove, ideal for preparing meals for larger groups. This authentic space has been preserved almost entirely in style with Delft blue tiles, a granite countertop, a characteristic sink and a beautiful stove above the stove. From the scullery there is also access to the backyard.

First floor: via the classic split staircase you reach the landing with a dormer window and beautiful daylight access. From here, two spacious bedrooms are accessible.

The bedroom at the back of the house is the master bedroom and features an en-suite bathroom. Characteristic details such as the built-in wardrobe wall and the latticework give the room extra charm. The window with shutters offers a beautiful view of the backyard and the Grote Kerk of Veere.

The bathroom is equipped with a freestanding bathtub on elegant legs, a classic bath mixer tap with hand shower, a toilet, and a vanity unit.

The second bedroom also exudes atmosphere. The bed under the dormer, the hatch, the mullions in the windows, the latticework, and the beam ceiling contribute to the authentic appearance. Together with the built-in sink in the cabinet and the hatch with wooden lock, you feel completely immersed in the characteristic atmosphere that this house is rich in.

Second floor: the landing forms the central point of this floor and provides access to a spacious living room, a third bedroom that can also serve excellently as an office or hobby room, and a second bathroom.

Via a characteristic passage you enter the cozy living room with a stunning view over the harbor and the city walls of Veere. Here it is wonderful to sit or work by the fireplace. The painted built-in cabinets offer plenty of storage space and also house a practical coffee corner with washing facilities.

The second bathroom is located under the beautiful roof structure and has a shower, toilet and white goods connections. In addition, there is extra storage space in the built-in cabinet with sliding doors. The skylights let in a beautiful morning light.

Attic: via a pull-down ladder you reach the attic. Here you will find the central heating installation and the mechanical ventilation unit. In addition, a surprisingly cozy seating area has been created by the window, with a view over the harbor, the city walls and the Veerse Meer.

Basement: from both the hallway and the street side, the impressive vaulted basement is accessible. The entrance from the Kaai is located behind the beautifully decorated basement doors at the front of the house. The basement is in good condition and offers, with ceiling height and approximately 45 m² of usable space, numerous possibilities for storage, hobby or studio.

Garden One of the most remarkable features of this property is undoubtedly the garden. Originally, the plot was intended for two houses, but prior to the 19th century, 'Huis van Axel' was demolished and an exceptionally spacious English city garden emerged.

Here you can enjoy peace, privacy, and greenery all day long. Under the grapevines, among the blooming roses, and near the majestic old fig tree, you will always find a spot in the sun or in the shade. The garden is beautifully laid out with atmospheric paving, blue rain, quince trees, and various terraces. Thanks to the characteristic surrounding wall, so typical of Veere, you experience complete privacy and tranquility here.

The garden has a free rear yard, a storage space and is accessible from the B&B suite, the kitchen-living room and the scullery.

Location Kaai 91 is located in a unique location in the historic center of Veere. The building is situated on the characteristic harbor, known for its rich maritime history and monumental appearance.
