The fire attracted several onlookers, and the street was cordoned off.
Crews remained at the scene more than an hour after the first call.
City Care staff later arrived, and it’s understood the house is a Kāinga Ora property.
The property is being secured overnight, and a fire investigator is expected to examine the scene on Tuesday morning.
