Property Description

Riddell House: Historic charm. Remarkable privacy. Downtown at your doorstep.

Welcome to 78 Zina Street, an 1880 Gothic Revival home with a setting that feels wonderfully removed from its downtown surroundings. On one of Orangeville’s admired streets for heritage homes, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence pairs architectural character with comfortable living and exceptional walkability.

Inside, hardwood floors and a beautiful bay window bring warmth to the connected living and dining spaces. An updated kitchen anchors the main floor, while the bright rear family room, complete with a gas fireplace, opens to the home’s most captivating surprise: a deeply private backyard retreat.

At its heart stands an enormous, magnificent tree—a beloved feature that gives the garden its character and sense of sanctuary. The swimming pool sits within this secluded backyard, inviting long summer afternoons at home. A charming dining area beneath a trellis creates a lovely setting for leisurely lunches, evening meals and conversations that carry on after sunset.

Surrounded by mature greenery, the yard offers a remarkable feeling of serenity. Downtown Orangeville is close at hand, yet back here, it feels a world away.

Upstairs, three bedrooms provide comfortable spaces to unwind, while a detached garage adds everyday convenience. Step out to enjoy downtown, then return to poolside afternoons, dinner beneath the trellis and the quiet beauty of your own garden.

 

Orangeville’s "Footsteps from Our Past" identifies 78 Zina as a Gothic Revival home built in 1880 by Joseph Riddell, a bricklayer. He also built 8 Clara Street, 73 Zina Street and 236 Broadway. 

Neighbourhood

DOWNTOWN

Established as early as Orangeville itself, the Downtown neighbourhood is arguably one of the most desired locations to live. Victorian homes, tall trees, and large lots characterize this neighbourhood, located right in the heart of Orangeville. Development began in the 1800's, and focused on Broadway and the immediately surrounding streets. Names of many of the original owners have achieved local celebrity status, such as Ketchum, Morrow, Riddell, McKitrick, Foley and Faulkner.
