Beltsville Volunteer and Prince George's County Firefighters responded to the home at the intersection of Harford Avenue and Queen Anne Avenue at about 12:30 a.m. to find the two-story house, which was under construction, engulfed in flames.
The fire took just over an hour to extinguish. A firefighter was treated and released from an area burn unit after a flying ember made contact with him.
About 45 firefighters and paramedics responded to the call. The cause is still under investigation.
