The residents inside noticed the flames and were reportedly able to get out safely.
Fire officials say no one was injured.
Flames, however, ravaged the front of the property and made their way into the eaves of the house, making it a difficult one to fight.
Crews were on scene for some time monitoring hot spots.
No word yet on a cause.
