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.
