Electricity and gas to the property were isolated as firefighters worked on extinguishing the flames, which took them nearly an hour.
An Emergency Services Agency spokesman described the fire as "quite significant".
One woman was in the home and self-evacuated. She was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation by ACT Ambulance Service paramedics and is being transported to The Canberra Hospital in a stable condition.
Three fire pumpers, breathing apparatus support and a commander vehicle attended the scene, and firefighters remained at the scene as of 12.30pm, monitoring hot spots and mopping-up.
