A Property Steeped in Benalla History:
Beyond its accommodation and investment appeal, 21 Nunn Street forms part of Benalla's rich nineteenth-century history. Historical records indicate that in 1869, William Blackburne owned and occupied his hardware store on this site. In 1887, Blackburne completed further works on the site, possibly incorporating the original store into the new building.
In 1888, Mr. Bennett opened a "Coffee Tavern with temperance bar" at the property. By 1901, the premises were being operated by Letitia Morrison as a boarding house, reflecting the important role the site once played within the local community.
The former Nunn Street Coffee Palace is recognised for its historical importance as a surviving example of late nineteenth-century Benalla. The property is also significant as part of the important building development undertaken by prominent local businessman William Blackburne, with connections to his broader development in Benalla, including "Creesill".
Architecturally, the building holds significance as a prominent corner building within the Central Benalla Historic Area. The property's historical and architectural importance was documented in the Conservation Study of 1991, adding another layer of interest to this distinctive Benalla property.
Positioned in a convenient Benalla location, the home is within easy reach of local schools, shops, parks, sporting facilities and the many amenities the town has to offer.
Combining five bedrooms, two bathrooms, versatile living spaces, a self-contained unit currently returning $400 per week, beautifully maintained low-maintenance gardens and a fascinating connection to Benalla's past, 21 Nunn Street presents an opportunity to secure a property with space, flexibility, income potential and genuine historical character.
