The flames completely destroyed the two-storey house located on 15th Avenue near Du Lac Boulevard.
The fire was first reported by residents at around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The blaze required the intervention of fire crews from the neighbouring cities of Sainte-Thérèse and Saint-Eustache.
Traces of accelerants were found at the site following a preliminary investigation.
According to officials, no injuries were reported and no one was in the home during the incident.
In late August, police opened two investigations regarding complaints of gunshots in the same residential area.
Police say they have no links at the moment between the two incidents.
