26 Benalla St, Benalla, Vic 3672

‘COBBLERS,’ circa 1884, is a refined mid-Victorian residence of remarkable character, grace and composure. From the moment you step through the front door, the home’s sense of peace and tranquility is unmistakable.
Set on a beautifully private 765m² allotment in a central location, the residence is surrounded by lush, leafy gardens and enhanced by a charming summer house.
Meticulously restored, the home celebrates its heritage through a central hallway, double-brick construction with a triple-brick façade, soaring 12-foot Murray Pine ceilings, etched glass panels, wide sash windows, an ornate hallway arch, cast-iron fireplace inserts and beautiful cast-iron lacework across the frontage.
Four generous bedrooms, formal and informal living areas, a central bathroom with an exquisite marble vanity, a walk-through laundry and two toilets ensure exceptional everyday functionality.
At the rear, the open-plan kitchen, dining, and relaxed family living zone has been thoughtfully designed to sit seamlessly in keeping with the original home.
The kitchen is appointed with expansive stone benchtops, Neff appliances, abundant drawer and pantry storage, plus access to the original cellar. 
Year-round comfort is provided by evaporative cooling, wall air conditioning, and gas heating.
French doors connect the kitchen area to a wonderfully private garden, where a brick-paved verandah and barbecue area are complemented by a summer house, gazebo, and garden shed. A secure side carport with a lock-up roller door provides additional storage for two vehicles or space for a workshop.
A 10-panel solar system and solar hot water assist this heritage home to meet contemporary expectations.
Enjoy the convenience of walking to the lake Benalla trails, Botanical gardens, town-centre, the railway station, and supermarkets.
