ACT Policing are investigating the suspicious house fire and said it was lit in the early hours of Monday morning.
Police were called to Warramoo Street about 2.25am, after the fire was extinguished by ACT Fire and Rescue.
Police said it appeared the fire had been deliberately lit. They believed someone threw accelerant through the front window on to a mattress, which then caught fire.
Repairs were expected to cost more than $50,000, and police said there was "extensive damage to contents within the front room and smoke damage throughout the house".
