It’s not known if anyone was inside the home — which was built just last year — at the time.
It took firefighters over three hours to get the blaze under control in the frigidly cold weather. The fire was brought under control at 4:20 a.m., and put out just before 7 a.m.
The flames caused extensive damage to the front of the second storey, where windows were blown out, the siding melted away and the roof damaged.
