The current residents of the home escaped the fire. No injuries were reported.
The 3,000-square-foot house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, and was built in 1946. Beyoncé and her family lived in the home from 1982 until Beyoncé was about 5.
A realtor listed the home for sale several years ago. It was purchased in May 2019 for between $420,001 and $482,000, according to USA Today.
