Three workers were inside the house at the time of the blaze, fire officials said. They added that the workers were decorators, so it’s assumed the home was nearly finished.
No injuries were reported as a result of the large blaze.
Firefighters were pooling water from several sources to fight the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
