Residents said there was a commotion on the street moments before the blaze took hold.
"(There was) a lot of yelling, smashing, a loud 'Oi'," Charlotte Djukanovic told 9News.
"I thought it was a fight across the road and then our house just filled with smoke."
The fire is estimated to have caused $200,000 in damage. 9News
It took firefighters almost an hour to bring the blaze under control.
Police are now investigating the fire as an act of arson.
"It's been determined as deliberate, but it's a SAPOL investigation so that's as much as I can say about that," South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) Fire Investigation officer Tom Loftus said.
The MFS said the estimated cost of the damage caused is around $200,000.
