Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'address' denotes location/contact details and 'street' specifies the type/location (the street where the building is), so the combined noun simply narrows the kind of address. This noun–noun modification pattern is regular in English and mirrored in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Street address comes from the simple idea of naming the street and the house or building number so people can find a place. So, it now means 'the exact place to send mail or visit'.
